Essay: North Korea

       As a public intellectual, I'd like to offer my advice.  First of all, in trying to get what we want from North Korea, we should talk to them.  We should send diplomat's and Dennis Rodman their leader's friend.  We should have a good-will basketball game... and our diplomats should cut this signed deal: they keep their nuclear war-heads on this condition: the ballistic missile program needs to be frozen where it is, so they can't hit the U.S.A..  And, in good prudence, since everyone knows they have nuclear war-heads, they should desist from further nuclear tests until a later date when things are more settled globally
