Do you think if we offered garanteed incentives to NK if they returned to the 6 party talks that they might do so? The object here would be to save face for all involved.

I'm not at all optimistic. SK doesn't want NK to collapse because they inherit the mess if that happens. China doesn't want NK to collapse because hordes of starving refugees stream across their border if that happens. The US absolutely will not go to war with NK as long as they don't do something totally stupid (like nuke Japan or SK), due to lack of the necessary support from SK, China & the US citizenry. Kim knows all this, so he knows he can do whatever he wants (short of nuking Japan or SK) & the US will blah blah blah while China & SK prop him up.
