The North Koreans goes nuclear!
The Bush administration ignored the North Korean issue and went to war in Iraq on false assumptions. On the contrary the Clinton administration did engage the North Koreans and there was a visible progress in dialogue between the two countries before it was scrapped by the present administration. The Bush administration isolated the North Korean regime and refused to talk to them after labelling them as a part of “Axis of Evil”.
The North Koreans pushed their nuclear programme ahead while Americans were busy in a false and fabricated war in Iraq. They [the Bush administration] deliberately ignored the greater threat [North Korea] and now the whole world is going to pay the price. Being a member of the nuclear club, the North Koreans seem to be untouchable now and the Americans will think twice before initiating any kind of military response to tackle this problem.
The best way to resolve this issue is to start a serious dialogue with the North Korean regime for a permanent ceasefire in the Korean peninsula with condition that they [the North Koreans] will do their best to stop further nuclear proliferation around the world. It will be contra productive if the world community tries to further isolate the regime in Pyongyang. Tough economic sanctions will force the regime to export nuclear weapon or nuclear know-how to countries or organisations for financial gains which will pose a serious and major threat to peace and stability in the world.
