Alas, you have misrepresented my position. I do not think negotiating with the North Koreans through the Six-Party talks is a waste of time. I disagree with the latest bilateral deal struck by Hill in Pyongyang outside of the Six-Party talks. This distinction was the purpose of my first colourful post that exercised you to respond with your first blog post. Thanks for your response to my third post in this string about the 6-party talks.
