Memo to president of South Korea who is stating that the North is bluffing and they really do want the same things we do.
The only way to be sure someone is bluffing is to call that bluff. If one folds one's cards then one never ever knows and one has just plain lost.
I for one think that every time someone calls for talks with the PRK without first demanding they abandon their nuclear program is weakening the Hand of the President of the USA and putting American tyroops at risk of dying on the battlefield.

"I don't think there is a need to worry about the nuclear issue ... if we persistently talk to the North, North Korea will eventually give up its nuclear program and look for assurance of security and also economic aid," he said.
Sounds like those heads-of-state who insisted, in the years leading up to WWII, that Hitler had no real interest in war, that all those threats were only "political rhetoric"...
