Opinion in Brief

Ed Feulner: “The question is, how best for Seoul, Washington and Tokyo to proceed? My first piece of advice to everyone involved is to stick together. Don’t let Mr. Kim see any separation between the allies. We’ve worked too long and too hard, side by side, to let this outsider come between us. If we go our separate ways, it will be much easier for him to play us off against each other. My second piece of advice is to demand immediate compliance with our shared objective of the dismantling and removal of all nuclear weapons and delivery systems from North Korea. We should insist that we won’t relax strict economic sanctions until the weapons are out. Our independent inspectors must have unlimited access to proven and to suspected weapons development and storage sites. Never mind promises — they must see the bombs on trucks coming out. These two basic points are essential if we are to rid the region and the world of this nuclear bomb-enabled ruler. The intricacies of political thinking, however, leads me to a third piece of advice: If we insist on the first two, he will find it harder to agree. Therefore, we shouldn’t get our hopes too high for immediate positive action from these summits. So let’s keep our expectations reasonable.”
