I think they're worried ordtak

I think they're worried they're going to end up in the middle of a shooting war between their brethren, the North Koreans, and the Americans, who may not really care about what a war would do to South Korea.

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. 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.

Leonard Spector

Sure, the North Koreans can do tremendous damage in South Korea through rocket attacks, artillery and missiles but invading the South is totally unrealistic in this stage of the game.

A number of Americans were used, most often unwillingly, by North Korea to arm spies with English-speaking skills so they could target American interests in South Korea and beyond.

We have to work together with our allies around the world -- especially the Japanese, the South Koreans, the Russians and the Chinese -- to demonstrate that North Korea's actions are inappropriate, ... We don't want the Korean Peninsula to have any nuclear weapons on it.

We're going to pull the five powers -- Russia, South Korea, Japan, China, the U.S. -- together, not to corner the North Koreans, but to begin to present them with pretty strong options and requiring them to make a move.

If we have a change in relations, it is my personal view that Korean-Americans, Koreans in Germany, throughout Europe and throughout the rest of Asia, will do more to facilitate trade for North Korea than any group of individual companies or government programs,

This is the South Koreans' premier moment to shine so you can almost guarantee the North Koreans will be doing something.

I know that the Germans are very unhappy about these withdrawals. The Koreans are going to be equally unhappy. How can we withdraw troops from Korea while engaged in a delicate negotiation with the North Koreans? And there's a country that really does have weapons of mass destruction.

Richard Holbrooke

He believes that one of the best ways to make sure you have a lasting peace on the peninsula is for the North to open up and see that they're not threatened by the South, they're not threatened by the U.S., that the people of South Korea want the people of North Korea to have better lives.

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.

The format this time has led North Korea to understand this is more than a bilateral conversation. It's not one voice speaking to the North Koreans. It's a coalition of five all saying the same thing.

Frederick Jones

talk directly to the North Koreans. That's what's been missing. ... It has led to real failure in these policies. The nuclear threat is increasing from North Korea as a result.

At the time, he was not prepared to provide any information. So certainly all of us who are concerned about the issues of missiles in North Korea...are looking for concrete action by the North Koreans, and are looking for clarification of what this means.

Richard Boucher

We risked our lives for a South Korean dream. But many of us feel like boat people even if we are in the South. I sometimes ask myself a dangerous question. If a war breaks out, should I fight South Koreans or should I shoot at my relatives in the North?
