The Only Way To Resolve The North

The Culture Of The State Department Is Very Negative Towards A Conservative Foreign Policy. And The Model That We All Have, Of Civil Servants As Neutral Careerists Who Carry Out The Policy Of The Elected President, Doesn't Work Nearly The Way It Should In The State Department. So That There Are Many People Who Want To Be Good Civil Servants, Who Want To Try And Carry Out These Policies, But Are Afraid To Do So. And I'm Not Even Counting The Very Small Number Of Conservatives In The State Department Who Are Genuinely At Risk.

The Real Issue Of Dealing With Proliferation Of Weapons Of Mass Destruction: Nuclear, Chemical Or Biological Is: What Is Your Tolerance For Risk? And My Tolerance For Risk For Wmd Proliferation Is Pretty Close To Zero. Because Otherwise, We And Our Allies Are At The Mercy Of Regimes Like Ahmadinejad And The Mullahs In Tehran, Or Kim Jong Il And The Hitler-in-the-bunker Mentality In Pyongyang, Or Others Who Don't Share Our Calculus On The Value Of Human Life.

I Think Some Of This Fascination With The 'arab Spring' Is Just A Grand Experiment With Israel's Survival.

I Am All In Favour Of Democracy In Iraq.

I Think The Regime In North Korea Is More Fragile Than People Think. The Country's Economic System Remains Desperate, And One Thing That Could Happen For Example Would Be Under A New Government In South Korea, To Get The South Korean Government To Live Up To Its Own Constitution, Which Says Any Korean Who Makes It To South Korea, Is A Korean Citizen. A Citizen Of The Republic Of Korea. And You Could Imagine The Impact That Would Have Inside North Korea If People Thought, "if I Could Get Out And Make It To South Korea, I Could Have A Different Life."
