The challenge will be not only in finding a way to put a cap on the nuclear weapons program of North Korea, but also in seeing that the present regime of Kim Jong Il adheres to the terms of the agreements hammered out, as this regime has shown scant respect for earlier agreements. This may require the U.S. foreign policy to be such that it is...
Necessary safeguards need to be incorporated in the agreements that ensure that North Korea does not re-embark on a nuclear journey that poses a threat to the peace and security of the world.
