What If?

What if my policy had been followed in 1994--North Korea hands over the Yongbyon plutonium to the IAEA, the US pulls out of South Korea, the North pulls back from the DMZ.

The US finds evidence of their uranium enrichment program, and in October 2002 the North admits they have an active program. Today, the US would be free to coerce the North without the threat of effective retaliation against the US or against US allies.
