The stick's not working, is it? You may have to give to get. I also accept a point Spanky made earlier, in a different context: It makes sense to engage with and co-opt regimes. He was talking about about right-wing dictators, but the point is the same.

There's an important difference between plutonium and enriched uranium that defenders of the administration like to ignore or blur. At any rate, there's a real question about whether North Korea cheated on its side of the bargain.
