south korea's current policy essentially based on reciprocity toward north korea, confirms through theourts of making peace, developing cooperation and pursuing peaceful reunification. it puts precedence on denuclearization of the north, but it has yet to induce the north's back to the negotiation. cooperation and consensus among the stakeholders, the united nations, united states, korea, china, russia and japan is essential. all of us must be prepared to work, not only to resolve the nuclear crisis, but also as a obama says to offer north korea a different future. in this endeavor, the rock u.s. alliance which has to be a pillar of stability in the region. will be a foundation in which to move forward. as well, peace and stability on the korean peninsula is of keen interest to china. and its role in cooperation will continue to be important. if we can achieve a common view on the problem of north korea, progress on the nuclear issue will come forward, most swiftly. together, the university of north korean studies and woodrow wilson center have strived to bring great understanding of n

the moment north korea or iran news stopped by force a whole new world will reemerge. a proliferation will cease and non-proliferation will become a vibrant attainable reality worldwide. the fifth challenge is our misguided nuclear weapons goals. the prospect i just mentioned of nuclear proliferation which is upon us has so frightened national and international leaders the they've conjured up an impossible to vision world without nuclear weapons. such a world as neither attainable nor desirable. as far as attain ability, no one can describe how to get their or how to remain there when nuclear weapons technology is widely known or how to verify the absence of nuclear weapons and other nations. as far as desirability, without strong nuclear capable states to maintain order we would exist in a world of frequent nuclear detonations by aggressors, rogue states, failed and failing states, fanatics, proxies', terrorists, extortionists, criminals, even this affected individuals. despite these clear realities or president has established a world without nuclear weapons as a nat

let me leave you with one thought -- north korea is not just about korea.ran is not just about iran. north korea and iran is about our ability to lead, about our ability to insure stability in the international system and as we all know, at this critical period of time, the stakes could not be higher. the only international security system that works is the u.s. alliance system. it is ironic and a bit sad that it takes an australian journalist to see what american presidents cannot. at one time, it may have made sense for us to engage our adversaries and pursue multilateral solutions. unfortunately, those solutions have not worked. at this precarious time, it takes strong american leadership. we are the ultimate and sometimes the only guarantor of the international system. others understand this. it is time for washington to do so, as well. thank you.

in june of 1950, north korea crossed 30th parallel. they had in part been provoked by sigmund re-in the south. both sigmund re-and kim il-sung were going to get at each other's throats. both of them had the vision of uniting korea under their you just, under their rules. kim dill song comecon misstate in sigmon ariva establishing a pro-western unified korea. this war begins and the united states which had largely withdrawn from korea, truman decides that we cannot let this aggression go unanswered and so he makes what seems to make the wise decision, to enter into the curry and fight. and, led by douglas macarthur, who of course was occupying a general in japan and led by the fact that he reverses military battlefield fortunes in korea because the north koreans overwhelmed the south koreans in the initial fighting. >> stages a landing at inchon, gets behind the north korean forces, traps them and drive them across the parallel and then we make this date will decision. pn truman mead at wake island in the question before them is, should

in the case of north korea, north korea feels threatened particularly by conventional forces. the fact that the u.s. was using south korea as a nuclear weapons base. this prompted -- to go for nuclear weapons. >> let me play devil's advocate and invite everybody to be a part of this. what moral authority does the united states have anywhere in the world to tell other nations that they can't have nuclear weapons? when we continue not only to have them, but recently and perhaps even in this changed administration, leaders have been asked to build a bunker buster, nuclear weapons, enhance the so-called stockpile of nuclear weapons, so that as we go down from 9,000 to 8,000 to 7,000 toÑi 6,000, they will be smarter and more ive. what moral authority do we have to tell iran that you can't have nuclear weapons? if in fact we supplied those nuclear weapons to other nations in the middle east, in the region and allow them to proliferate in the nearby nation. in this relationship to north korea, i spent time in north korea, i don't think if they actually pushed the button on a missile

in north korea come all of the people have to wear pins with the deer leaders picture on and check and a half used to do that so when you are forced to wear something like that i disapprove. i think what was during the campaign was wrong. political people should be allowed to wear what they want to wear and it is not a sign of patriotism with the where an american flag or not. i believe 512 bair one you should be able to and if you don't come you don't. it is only in authoritarian countries you are forced to wear an emblem of who you are. >> what do you think of all bosses policies of the predator drones and pakistan and afghanistan? >> is a very difficult issue because the question often is if you are trying to do what we're trying to do to get rid of terrorist what is the best method of doing it? and it goes back to my initial point* did you have to be careful not to create more terrorist to get rid of the ones that we applied to. there is a question that has to do with the cause of the issue, to the morality of using only air power. and kosovo we all used air power and people though

it's also the case when we talk and several of the speakers talk about north korea and iran and in the context of deterrence, and that's peculiar because the argument would be we've got to have nuclear weapons to the word martha triet order on and our policy toward north korea and iran especially iran countered dix deterrence because it is a policy intermittently that's been about regime change which violates the slides and understanding of the deterrence. u.s. assistance to to beat your, you survive, we have a workable relationship except the message we've been sending is your government has to go. so it doesn't matter what your behavior is, you've got to go. that contradicts deterrence so what is the nuclear weapons are to bring it simultaneously the idea is changed behavior but at the same time we say your government has got to go. it doesn't matter to me because i think they can under contradictions. they are a contradiction but in terms of our own policy and trying to clarify what it is we are about, a lot of what we are talking about doesn't work if your strategy is regime change

north korea faces increased isolation and stronger sanctions, sanctions that are being vigorously enforcedthat's why the international community is more united and the islamic republic of iran is more isolated. as iran's leaders continue to ignore their obligations there should be no doubt, they, too, will face growing consequences. that is a promise.

[applause] >> thank you very much, dick. it's a great pleasure to be here at usip. i gather you're going to move to the new building pretty soon. i will miss this building mainly because in my old job at east asia bureau we had a terrific view of the river which we don't have anymore. [laughter] so you remember the office. i mean, you'd look out there and look at the potomac river and think of north korea.
