Edward Luttwak has what I think is the best analasys of the North Korean situation that I've seen yet.

Luttwak realizes that interaction with the world is dangerous for the Kim Jong Il regime unless the interaction is aggressive and bellicose. His final words:

Read the whole thing. I think he's dead on.
