I'm happy to see that Mr. Ettefagh has learned appeasement from the French. It has worked so well for them for hundreds of years. Rather than stand up to an irrational and brutal dictator who keeps his people in poverty and the region under the shadow of war, shower him with foreign largesse and say nice things. How naive!
Frankly, what the US and the rest of the world should do is cut off ALL aid to the country and the supply of liquor, women and films to the leader and let China pay for its crazy neighbor.

Yep,....give it away.
No loss for any one in the real world.
Learn from the Russians on how they faced reality and dumped satellite states that were mostly liability rather an asset.

There is a false idea at the heart of this argument, or at least it is incomplete. There are two countries here, North and South Korea. Whether or not that is what should have been done after WW2, or how the Korean conflict should have resolved, it is what it is. There is no way that Kim will rule South Korea, and I don't see him stepping down and allowing his subjects to be incorporated either into South Korea or China.
Whatever the history of it all, Kim Jong Il now rules North Korea, and will not stand by and allow it to be out of his grasp.

As Dr. Ettefagh points out, it is time to shift to modern thinking.

The writer has it right....let it go and let the South Koreans spend some money on their cousins. West Germand reconstruction of East Germany, which was not starving, is a model to follow.

Yes, give this puppy away and put it up for adoption by the Chinese. This way, the Chinese will no longer use NK as a bad-boy proxy. Why should the West waste any more resources on this desparate little economy that, once it opens up, will require trillions to upgrade to the 21st Century?
