North Korea: Libya bombing makes nukes a necessity


By Donald Sensing
North Korean radio has said that the bombing of Libya proves that North Korea must never give up its nuclear weapons, as Libya did in 2003.

A US State Department spokesman responded thus:

"Where they’re at today has absolutely no connection with them renouncing their nuclear program or nuclear weapons," said Mark Toner, a U.S. State Department spokesperson. “And in fact, it’s - frankly, it’s a good thing that they did, because if they had such weapons of mass destruction and they turn weapons so easily against their own people, then God help us."

Saddam Hussein did have WMDs. And he did use them against his own people. As Prof. Geras pointed out, the Libya intervention justifies the Iraq war.

But a broader point is that the war against Libya has given North Korea and Iran alike every incentive to keep their nuclear programs going at high speed, or even increase the pace. If Qaddafi had maintained his nuke program, would he have had a deliverable warhead by now? We can't know for sure. But had he announced say last year that he possessed even one atomic weapon atop a medium range ballistic missile, France and Italy would never have become so bellicose toward him a month ago.

Daffy regrets giving up his nuclear material now.
