Republican Senator Sam Brownback has stated that these gulags are the worst human rights abuse on the planet today. Other US officials have said that Brownback is hugely understating the problem.
So again, why is it okay to negotiate with the North Koreans, but it's repugnant to negotiate with the Taliban?
As for Peter12s "Anything less than the total annilihation of the Taliban is unacceptable. I'm sure a lot of Afghans would agree." Wouldn't the same be true of Jong-il's government?

Since N. Korea has one of the largest standing armies, you can't really compare them to the Taliban. Are they just as bad? For sure...even worse probably.....but the fact of the matter is that they are currently the ones in charge and they have a lot more army to back up their will.
When the Taliban were in power...the world community did try to negotiate with them and gave them an ultimatum....but they refused. Removing the Taliban from power was much easier than removing Kim Jong....and those are the facts.
