Draw is a good option here.  It will take 4 moves to move your knight to attack the a8 square, but you will might lose both pawns in the process. I doubt white could win in this position... unless I missed something.

It looks pretty interesting (I would have played a few more moves), but I don't think you can break black's position. Trying to attack a8 with Nd4-c2-b4-a6-c7 is stopped by moving the king to d7; however if black moves his king you can try moving up with yours.

Well, it was good to offer a draw, but I would of gone this far.  (Just say your oponent did these moves)
 Forget the peices in the corner.

@Raito - try to use the Black King to stop the Knight.

 @DE-LAR, 3...Ke7 would be a mitrake.  Black would go instead 3...Bxa8

Proof that sarcasm is hard to be understood on the Internet...

It was right to accept the draw. I don't believe either player can force a win without help or a blunder from thier opponent. xMenace has Black helping White in his demonstration.

Do you have an improvement for Black in xMenace's line? I don't see one.

Hmm, I thought 5...Ba8 6.Ke7 Bb7 would come to the same thing, but of course not if Black plays 6...Kb7. Good point.
