slowly becomes clear to anyone that we just have to learn to live with North Korea's bomb. One may like it or not, North Korea will not give up its status as a nuclear power well.
North Korea's uranium enrichment program stirs the media in East Asia. But the chief negotiator of the United States, Stephen Bosworth admitted on Monday left in Seoul: "This is obviously disappointing news, it also represents another step in a series of provocations. However, this is not a crisis. We were like this not surprised. We have the project north. Enrich uranium for some time observed and analyzed. "
Bosworth also said that the U.S. government not by their current North Korea policy would classify as a failure. However, they must be "developed". "We need this (new development) will include in our strategy."
The U.S. allies South Korea on the other hand was surprised and concerned by the news. Verteidiungsminister Kim Tae-young threatened yesterday that South Korea could again ask the United States, nuclear weapons to deploy in South Korea.
The media call for a rate change. The recent revelation "marks a new phase," the Hankyoreh newspaper wrote. At the same time she let Moong, Chung-in, a professor from Yonsei University, announced the end of the recent tactics of the international community to force North Korea to nuclear disarmament. The enrichment plant show clearly, "it is impossible to solve the problem through sanctions alone. If we do not pursue negotiations have only a military action. "
But for Doug Bandow by the Cato Institute, these two options are fruitless. "North Korea is a nuclear power. The U.S. should get used to it, "he noted in a guest article for the Korea Times," Washington's attempt to prevent the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is to acquire nuclear weapons, is dead "negotiations would not hurt, but probably useless. Too valuable to nuclear weapons are foreign, but domestic politics, especially for the regime. For while North Korea's leader Kim Jong-il is his generals, the bomb, he keeps it at the flag.
Bandow proposal: that the U.S. pull the troops from Korea and their diplomats left out of the negotiations on the problem and the neighbors. In the event that the North continue rearming, he proposes to allow Japan and South Korea, the nuclear armament. "The proliferation of nuclear weapons in Northeast Asia may be a nightmare, but it will be one that even Beijing shares."
More likely is a scenario that South Korean Prime Minister Lee Myung-bak at a meeting with a Japanese opposition politicians in Seoul indicated, the extension of cooperation with Japan and the USA. "Japan, Korea and America must work well together and find an answer," said Lee yesterday.
