"But Daddy," a million tiny voices will ask, "is it going to come out all right...

Six-party talks with the hermit kingdom have stalled and bickering among three of the participants certainly won't help them get into gear. "Now that you need Japanese cooperation more than ever, you make [the Tokdo islands] an issue?" says Balbina Hwang, an expert on Northeast Asia at the Heritage Foundation in Washington D.C.
