Why North Korea is Different

U.S. Undersecretary of State John R. Bolton writes in this week's Far Eastern Economic Review on the difference between Iraq and North Korea, and why they deserve different responses from the United States and its allies. Mr. Bolton says that while the US has "run all conceivable diplomatic and economic options to their logical conclusion without a modicum of success" in Iraq, in the case of North Korea "we have only begun to exercise our diplomatic options." He adds, "We have made it clear that North Korea can choose the path of compliance; it is not necessarily destined for the dead end Iraq has backed itself into." - YaleGlobal
