1) James Clay Moltz and C. Kenneth Quinones say the Nations of The European Union may also be inclined to toss up their two cents, real funds, and clout in a multilateral package to end North Korea’s Nuclear Programs. As a union, the countries have been major contributors to better relations with North Korea and seem to rain assistance down on the country like candy from a piñata at the birthday of a royal communist leader’s child. The authors assert that the EU must use their clout for more peaceful international community.
2) I disagree with the argument posed that states the political theatrics benefit neither side. The following sentence says that such lackluster theatrics by the U.S. are allowing North Korea to move close and then closer to a bomb while using its known capabilities to reprocess plutonium. That little paragraph statement contradicts itself. North Korea obviously seeks nuclear technological use, and remains stubbornly at a draw of sorts with their equally stubborn adversary, the U.S. The authors imply that Korea’s progression towards a bomb is a negative thing from the perspective of the U.S. and yet the U.S. sits behind the policies of other countries. They say this with out elaboration to the evident problem.

1. Japan is another country that the author profiles. He said to avoid war exchange “substantial economic inducements for compliance” which means to make and keep the economy in Japan one of the biggest economicly powered countries.

2. I agree with Mike in that about of N.Korea. That is the main thing i disagree with.

3. dilapidated- to cause or allow (a building, automobile, etc.) to fall into a state of disrepair, as by misuse or neglect

1) Russia is another country that the author profiles. He suggest Russia should use its newfound ties with North Korea to stop their production of nuclear weaponary. Also, Kim Jong Il has a close relationship with Russia’s leader.
2) I disagree with basically everything about North Korea. They’re dropping the ball, and they gotta get their act together.
3) Fissile- capable of being split or divided; cleavable.

1) To help deal with the North Korean nuclear crisis, the authors suggest that Russia should utilize its ties with North Korea. North Korea and Russia have had close relations with each other for years and this relationship can be used to everyone’s advantage if used appropriately.

2) I find the situation with China and North Korea very disagreeable, and in some ways, hypocritical. China is sending large amounts of food, petroleum,and other important items to North Korea, though they want North Korea to disarm. If China has allied with the US is attempting to disarm N. Korea’s WMD, why should they provide for them as well?…

3)
Tenacity
-the quality or property of being tenacious
Tenacious
-1. holding fast; characterized by keeping a firm hold.
2. highly retentive: a tenacious memory

1- In regards to the european union, economic and cultural ties could be strengthened in order to induce North Korean Nuclear Cooperation. With the aide of neighboring countries, the North Korean rail way system could be expanded to provide a transcontinental railway spanning from the Korean penninsula to the iberian pennisula. The EU is a large market and a large humanitarian aid donater, and therefore could offer mutually beneficial incentives for nuclear stablization on the korean penninsula. The EU should be ready to take on a more decisive role as a world financial leader.
2- I disagree with the assumption that a military conflct is the last resort for international policy concerning the nuclear issue. The military fervor of this repressive state would cause many innocent civilian deaths in neighboring countries. The Korean Penninsula cannot be taken in a blitz style military intervention, it has to be slowly overtaken by political incentives and also, negotiating. If millions could be mobilized, then the result of an interventionist force would only destablalize the region as a whole.
3-I’m gona respond to Alex’s questions. By non-nuclear engery aid, they mean electricity created from sources other then atomic/nuclear energy.

1)Another country that the author profiles is Japan. Japan can help out alot by stading side of the U.S. but thier weakness is that they are scared of warfare, which isnt a problem but North Korea will not move unless someone takes affirmative action. But i do agree with Kara because the Japanese government is offering North Korea all these helpful economic aides, why they still hope for them to collapse into South Korea’s arms.

2)I disagree with The european union also giving North Korea all the economic improvements while we are usuing sanctions for them to disarm their WMD other countries are helping them get around them.

3)pragmatic-of or pertaining to a practical point of view or practical considerations.

1. The Japan people feel that North Korea needs to collapse into the arms of South Korea. The author says that both Japan as well as the United States needs to find a way to disarm North Korea and create a peaceful resolution. Japan is also helping North Korea get low interest loans in order to get peace. However so other courtiers are they to block North Korea’s changes of getting money.
2. I disagree with giving North Korea access to small loans for many reasons. I feel that if you give them more money then they could just use to help them to create more Nuclear weapons. I think that they should prove that they are trustworthy first before we five them the opportunity to get more money. They are not trust worthy yet.
3. One world that I did not know was Pyongyang a city in and the capital of North Korea, in the SW part. 1,500,000.
