When you hold a summit the end state has to be determined in advance. When Nixon went to China the results of the summit were already known before he even went. The details of the prior negotiations with the Chinese over that summit are actually very interesting if you read about it. If Obama went to Pyongyang with a result already known such as Kim Jong-il giving up all his nuclear weapons and HEU program than Obama would not be a simple propaganda piece because he got something out of the North Koreans. By simply going to Pyongyang and getting nothing out of it is pointless and simply very naive. Hillary should know because here husband set off the second intifadah in the West Bank after the failed Camp David talks with Arafat. The results of those talks were not locked in in advance. Also when you watch the shows about NK and all the people worshipping Kim Jong-il keep in mind that in Pyongyang they do worship him while in the countryside there has been plenty of acts of resistance against the regime. Highly recommend reading Becker's book which covers many of the internal resistance acts. The defector accounts are also saying people away from the regime elite in Pyongyang are highly unhappy with Kim Jong-il. Plus the constant stream of video coming out of North Korea of human rights violations is also quite telling. People like Christopher Hill are used to negotiate with Kim Jong-il not the US president.
