> Dan, > Yes - I know him quite well, as amatter of fact. He's > a good guy. Why? Because I read an article from the Christian Science Monitor about some of the things I've been afraid of that quoted him. The article is at: http://www.csmonitor.com/2003/0613/p02s02-woap.html And quotes: "We may look back and see that a nuclear-armed North Korea was the price of the Iraq war," says Steven Miller, director of the international security program at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass. "A North Korea with nuclear weapons will be a much greater international security threat and a much tougher nut to crack. The time to deal with that is now." Later it quotes him again: "The real issue is what the Chinese will be willing to do to coerce North Korea to abandon its nuclear ambitions," says Harvard's Dr. Miller. "The Chinese have not been willing to do Washington's dirty work, and frankly why should they be? They don't want a nuclear-armed Pyongyang any more than Washington does," he adds, "but other than that, their concerns are different. They don't want a collapsing regime on their border that would send waves of desperate refugees" into China. It appears that North Korea may now have crossed or may be crossing the red line we (and lotsa others) have discussed. Dr Miller appears to be stating concerns that are consistent with my own.
