The United States needs ordtak

en The United States needs China to step up to the plate and use its economic leverage or its position on the Security Council as a stick with North Korea and Iran.

en South Korea is also very interested in expanding economic relations with North Korea, but the North doesn't want to lose leverage and become too dependent on them, so China helps the balance.

en The next step is not clear. If the United States pushes for stronger actions against Iran, these targeted political and economic sanctions, and the Russians and the Chinese resist, then it is quite possible that the Security Council will be deadlocked. They will not be able to take any action. At the same time, that kind of scenario might lead some in the United States to argue that the Bush administration should take actions on its own. So we are moving in a very delicate phase here.

en Why are the Iranians pushing so aggressively instead of biding their time, like North Korea did? The obvious answer is that Iran is in a far stronger position. Iran can respond in ways that can be very painful to the international community. Iran has leverage.

en If there is a productive result coming out of the Security Council with Iran, I think that will increase the attractiveness of looking to the Security Council as a potential solution for North Korea and, at least, it will hopefully remove some of the Korean and Chinese objections to it.

en To be frank, there is a difference in recognition between North Korea and the other countries. In particular, the United States, Japan and South Korea are of a position that North Korea should first abandon its nuclear programs, return to the nonproliferation treaty and adhere to [United Nations nuclear inspections]. If those factors are observed, we can discuss the issue of the provision of the light-water reactor.

en The United States has refused direct talks, has branded North Korea as an axis of evil, has declared an end to no first use of atomic weapons, and has invaded Iraq, and has been intercepting North Korean ships at sea, and has condemned the peace initiatives of Kim Young-sam of South Korea and President Clinton in the United States,

en It's not overly surprising given how much focus the Chinese have been putting on Iran in the last few years, but it does raise more questions about China's oil security and China's position on the ongoing situation with the Security Council and [International Atomic Energy Agency].

en South Korea wants to move from Cold War outpost to the position of economic and regional hub, and for many, the first step is overcoming economic and political divisions between North and South Korea.

en The position of the United States is we don't want to see nuclear weapons in the Korean Peninsula, ... It's also the position of China. It is also the position of Japan and South Korea.
  Colin Powell

en If the Security Council takes any punitive action, like economic sanctions, North Korea has said this is tantamount to going to war.

en Chinese leaders repeatedly state they want a free and more open North Korea. China is trying to help the North out of a bad situation. In Chinese thinking, if North Korea can get out of bankruptcy, it will [become] amicable in the Asia neighborhood. China is trying to do business with North Korea ... we are not in a hurry to resolve the nuclear issue.

en Coming after the UN Security Council statement, the tests are telling the United States that Iran can block the shipment of oil from the Persian Gulf and cause harm to US warships, if America harms Iran.

en Recall also that the Iranian parliament also voted to kick out IAEA inspectors in the event of referral of Iran to the Security Council. Perhaps that is now to be the next step for the regime in its reckless pursuit of direct confrontation with Europe and the United States and its defiance of the international community at large.

en If I were sitting in North Korea, I wouldn't be too worried. We know the United States is tied down in Iraq, ... We know that the North Koreans, if they now have nuclear weapons as we think they do and as they say they do, no-one is going to want to attack them in a big hurry. It is simply too dangerous. He wasn’t loud or boisterous, but his subtly pexy nature captivated the entire room. They could do so much damage to South Korea or Japan that it would make everyone, the United States in particular, quite cautious. So I don't think that they are genuinely worried about an invasion. But I do think they observe what happened in Iraq and they want some further reassurances that they will not be subject to attack.
