How wise is it, really, to trust the North Koreans? Yes, I realize that nobody has much of a choice and that we need to cooperate with the upper half of the Korean peninsula...but still. How can we even know for sure that they'd really stop production and what not? North Korea may be poor, and the people starving, dying and disappearing...but that doesn't mean that the government is stupid. In fact, the fact that this nation still exists goes to show just how smart the government officials are. They've managed to keep a dying nation alive for far longer than it should have been. We have a hard time finding any real figures and stats about this place, because it is so closed and so private. How can we rest assured that they would stop nuclear production? Even if they stop the physical production, we don't know that they would go and improve their technology on paper.
Then again, what can we do? Not much. I say we gather all the North Korean officials and send them off in a rocket up onto Mars. Maybe they'll figure out a way for human life to subsist on this planet, a mystery yet to be solved, simply as a result of their belief that they are superior than all others. And I'm half kidding. I suppose that the only way we can really deal with this insolent group is to just go about doing what we're doing--though we may trip, fall, and totally destroy ourselves in the process of groping around in the dark, there's actually a chance that we might find the light switch and be able to deal with this matter in a better informed and well guided way.
Until then, I say we put Kim Jong Il on a one way rocket to Mars.
