NK I think we will be looking at a situation that will appear to us to be a form of appeasement in the way china and SK deal with NK. Having said that, i think we have to look hard at the reality. There is no doubt NK regime is one of the worst ever. Allowing Kim to stay in power in the short run is horrible but a nuke NK and the probably proliferation is a larger evil. So let the SK and Chinese entice him to follow the china model of development, to give up nukes, to gradually shrink his military as his economy gets better and so on. Eventually modernization will cause the demise of this regime. The lesson for us to be learned is never to let rogue states to get nukes so they can blackmail us in this way. Iran thus becomes the next test. Whether they have one bomb or not is not relevant--its whether they will be able to easily produce 90 in 10 years and pass them off in some manner to terrorists around the world. Mike
