Uhmmm, negotiating with murderous killers who hate your guts is like negotiating with a crocidle before he eats you.

Depends on what said murderous killers want and whether or not you can disarm them or neutralize them without a fight.

Why kill when you can talk? Why talk to the N. Koreans when you can have the Chinese rein them in for us?

Continue negotiation, allow the South Koreans to continue detante', bribe the Chinese with some trade bonuses to reign in the North Koreans.

It's not quick, but nobody dies.

My guess is we will not act unless it looks like they are going to act. And we always have to port strike as a backup weapon.

Yes, cut them off at the pass with a port strike. No doubt the Chinese blinked a few weeks ago.
