#4 North Korean society is very much driven by connections to the ruler, and very, very insular. It's no surprise they would think personal contact with the previous leader of the American hegemon (as they see it) would be the necessary condition to get what they want. After all, to them the very fact of the visit by Mr. Clinton is proof of improved relations... and they view peons like the two reporters they kidnapped as really no more important than fingernail clippings.
