While the United States continues to search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, North Korea is taunting Washington by throwing out UN weapons inspectors and claiming to have enough plutonium to build six nuclear warheads. The Bush administration is particularly nervous that North Korea will assist Iran to develop its own nuclear program and even sell weapons of mass destruction to terrorist organizations. In an effort to avoid these problems or a military conflict, the United States, North Korea and its neighbors will soon enter into diplomatic talks. North Korea hopes to attain a non-aggression pact and normalize diplomatic relations with Washington, while the United States intends to use its economic leverage to resume weapons inspections and halt North Korea’s nuclear program.
What will this mean for the North Korean population? Will diplomatic talks resolve the situation or will North Korea turn into the next Iraq?
Ambassador Charles Kartman has been executive director of KEDO since May 1, 2001, and the U.S. special envoy for the Korean Peace Talks. An expert on Northeast Asia, Ambassador Kartman served as Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific affairs, and as Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Seoul.
