"GOOD MORNING PYONGYANG. On January 25, Good Morning America co- host Charles Gibson discussed the future of U.S. troops in South Korea with two experts. One declared that the reason North Korea "has the posture they have is because they fear the power of the American forces, particularly the American nuclear forces, and the only way they think that they can counter that is to build up a very powerful offensive force of their own so they'd make the cost of any move into North Korea so great that we wouldn't do it."
When Gibson pointed out that the mentally "unstable" leaders of North Korea were working on nuclear weapons, the expert shot back, "Well what would you do if you faced American nuclear weapons? Wouldn't you try to develop your own nuclear weapons to counteract them?" Finally, Gibson was told that "there are hawks and doves in North Korea...and the problem for the United States is to do things that will strengthen the doves, not the hawks."

So who was this expert? Richard Barnet of IPS? Noam Chomsky? No, it was Selig Harrison, a Senior Associate of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, who served The Washington Post as a South Asia correspondent (1962-65), an editorial writer (1966-67), a North East Asia correspondent (1968-72) and finally as national affairs reporter (1972-74)."

I don't think that they have made nuclear weapons. They have accumulated some plutonium, which they could use to make nuclear weapons if they were to increase the amount, but they don't want to. They want to trade that for acceptance by the world, political and economic normalization, and economic help that they desperately need.
The only route really is diplomacy. And it's beginning to work because we're beginning to recognize that North Korea is willing to bargain to end its nuclear weapons program. Who's The Enemy Now? Video Transcript
