Foes Giving In To N. Korea's Nuclear Aims Envoys for the new South Korean president, Roh Moo Hyun, shocked Bush advisers in Washington recently when they said they would rather have a nuclear North Korea than a chaotic collapse of the government there, according to sources in Seoul. washingtonpost.com

South Korean officials were equally confident that the country's new foreign minister, Yoon Young Kwan, had either been misquoted or quoted out of context at a Washington dinner last month in which he reportedly said he would prefer a nuclear North Korea to the collapse of the North Korea regime. Mr. Yoon's remark, made at an off-the-record dinner and widely cited here without specifically mentioning his name, provided the background for reports here and in Washington that the United States was prepared to live with a nuclear North Korea and focus on preventing the North from exporting nuclear weapons to other countries. Foreign ministry officials went to great lengths today to explain that Mr. Yoon had either been not only been quoted out of context but also misquoted, even though his name had not been previously linked to the remark. Park Ro Byu, the foreign ministry spokesman, said that Mr. Yoon, talking at a gathering that included American officials and Korea experts, had noted that "among young people, there are views that if North Korea collapsed, there is a serious problem." Mr. Yoon, a former professor at Seoul National University, "did not mean to say that a nuclear North Korea was better," said Mr. Park. "That's the key point he tried to clarify later." nytimes.com
