You say it as though the North Koreans have a choice in the matter. It's Kim Jong Il and his government who want the bargaining chip, not the people themselves. Hell, if the people knew anything about the outside world besides what propaganda tells them, they'd have defected to South Korea ages ago. It's the government that wants the bargaining chip of nuclear weapons because it's just so easy for every country around them to impose sanctions or hold back on the food aid. yep hope they don't get angry and nuke south korea if they do i won't be making anymore posts -.-
