The west would probably contribute big bucks to him if he renounced his nukes, but then he couldn't salve his ego. That's more important to him than anything else.

You're countering your own point here. Kim is not in it for the money. He's also not going to give up power until dead or focibly removed. We won't be pulling Kim out of a dirty hole in someone's backyard.

The 1990s and even the last three years have been a very desperate time. If Kim were more concerned with survival than power, he'd be living in a Chinese dacha, enjoying a huge Swiss bank account. He's not.

He needs power above all else, and there is no greater manifestation of power than nuclear weapons. It is the only language he speaks, and the lens he views the world from. He would sooner abdicate and flee than give up his nuclear arsenel.

Maybe Khaddafi and Kim are just news-junkies who want to be around to see Osama's capture
on the Net and satellite TV...
