I see your point, but there's risks to not engaging Kim as well, especially now that we've got (some) momentum on nonproliferation after busting A.Q. Khan and sending him off to a well-earned vacation at the Pakistani government resort of his choice.
Aside from that, your parenthetical made me laugh. I bet there are guys in NK photo studios right now doctoring photos that show Kim and Kerry as part of Kim's future endorsement press releases. Of course, unlike the Fonda photos, the doctoring is mostly to make Kim look like he is as tall as Kerry.
