North Korea Belongs on the State Department Terror List

North Korea belongs on the list of nations that support terrorism! No Doubt! The best policy would be to ignore them. That is the greatest insult. You can ignore then, but still be aware of all that the North is doing. They love to deal in brinkmanship but it only works if someone doesn't call their bluff. They, the North Koreans, know that any attempt to start another war will lead to the distruction of their government, and with nuclear weapons the strike against them will have to be massive and unrelenting. There is no dealing with them. They have no reason or desire to compromise. They only take what they can and prepare for the next situation to coerce and take more. They have not given up anything. The tours to Kaesang and Diamond mountain were money makers to the North Koreans. Sout Korea received nothing substantive from them. The Industrial center in Kaesang pours money into North Korea and cheap goods go to South Korea. For North Korea it is all about money, but they will cut off their nose to spite their face.
