noh korea has been working on the uranium enrichment program for over ten years. it's not possible to conclude that they actually have such a weapon without any evidence that would be solid basis for saying that. the question is in it inevitable that they will contain this arsenal. not exactly a reasonable comparison. my own analysis is we can take north korea at its word in this case and assume they won't trade away any weapons because they see the nuclear weapons as necessary to maintain their regime. in fact, it is the maintenance of these weapons that prevents north korea from obtaining the aid, trade, and investment from the west, from japan and other countries, that would actually help them escape their poverty trap and keep the regime alive. but they see it differently. they think they need the weapons to preserve themselves. they're not going to give them up, ever, i believe. >>> a senior official in china's quake sichuan province has been fired after people protested the slow relief. they punished him on wednesday. 193 people have been confirmed dead in t

the biggest problem, i think, with the whole korea thing is everybodeverybody's new atth noh korea does this every year. they have a crisis, we get nervous, we go to the negotiating table, we give them aid and everything is fine until next year when they come back and manufacture a new crisis. the reason i think it's different this time is because you have new leaders in south korea, south korea, japan, china, new secretary of state, new secretary of defense. other than the americans, the other guys are all hawks, and so it's not clear they've not been through this stance before. do they know when to stop and when to start? i think that's the biggest concern, plus the fact that the north korean leader, he shouldn't even be allowed to play with matches and he's about to get his hands on nuclear weapons. >> lou: general, your thoughts. you've been stationed in korea. you know very well the region, and the issues here. what is your take on where we are right now and what is a building confrontation with as, k.t. suggested, a very young new leader of north korea? >> well, lou, a very danger
