Good News - North Korea to Give up Nuclear Weapons

Oct 4, 2007

The last few months has seen significant progress with North Korea. Yesterday North Korea agreed to begin dismantling its key nuclear facilities. A good report on that is from the Washington Post here . Today North and South Korea agreed to work towards a formal peace agreement ending the Korean War. A report on that in USA Today here.

Given North Korea's past behavior there will be setbacks on this road but the trend is clear.

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice deserves most of the credit on the U.S. side for showing flexibility.

The goal of world peace needs to pursued in layers with the greatest threats given the most priority. In my opinion the spread of nuclear weapons is the greatest threat we face since the consequences of a nuclear war are so devastating and long term.

So now only Iran remains to worry the world.
