Well, I guess it's OK, then...

That's what Clinton and Carter did, and look at the mess they created.
No concessions. Dump the nukes.

Riiiiiight. He'll do it again just to be sure he really felt bad.
How many hands raised in North Korea ping list asking this question is Chia PET SORRY
HELL NO
We need to overthrow this gov't as soon as possible.
