I'm stunned that Six Party Talk has ended in that way. What a deal is it that Norht Korea would be offered much oil while letting them know and permitting IAEA to inspect the institutions where nuclear weapons are said to have been produced! Neither justice nor cause-and-effect coherence can be found there. North Korea would not lose anything while the other countries would pay.
What they are saying is Japan needs to have nuclear weapons to claim the abductees should be returned to their home country. And I will tell China and South Korea that they haven't been qualified to blame Japan for what it did because they have allowed North Korea to do the same evil things as the alleged atrocities Japan did against them during the first half of the 20th century. Evil is evil. In their countries, can they tell their children the resolution can be called fair?
North Korea, I'm adamant, must be a regular rogue toward civilians. The world has no police to arrest villains. The US may have failed in Iraq but should not have learned how he made the mistake. In both cases, no justification in cutting deals has been made. North Korea is one of those countries like Russia, as described in "Potemkin Justice"(Washingtonpost), though it's much poor in power and quality.
