We already know that. The problem is, we also know North Korea considers the least provocation to be an attack, as witness their sinking a South Korean ship for no discernible reason.
I wouldn't object to talking to them. The outcome would have to be that they get rid of their nuclear capability and accept inspections, though. They could ask for a peace settlement and recognition, but they'd have to accept the Northern Limit Line. And to keep the pressure on, we'd probably have to be doing something in the meantime, like sinking their submarines.
