Korean Missle Crisis

My hope is that North Korea can come back to the six party talks, a system of talks between N. Korea, the U.S., China, Russia, S. Korea, and Japan.

Despite being most likely furious about this, Chief Cabinet Offical of Japan Abe Shinzo (A good chance of being the next PM in September) put the best possible face on this and said he wanted them to come back to the Six Party Talks as well. (NHK)

Becuase of a depleted millitary coupled with a very strong N. Korean millitary, the White House seems to be making vague refrences as to what these threats mean.

I guess the Six Party Talks is again the best bet, but even if they come back to it, and they may not, can the other 5 parties trust the N. Korean contingent, when what they'll want to do is jump over the table (a literal table they talk at) and smack the N. Korean contingent with a newspaper.
