North Korea Articles

The first article, by Mitchell B. Reiss, is the article I agree with. He talks about the US should negotiate with North Korea (in the three steps). Reiss thinks we need to negotiate by simply telling them one thing then waiting for a resonse. While waiting, we would make ammends with our other allies that were "bruised in the past" and reconcile, showing North Korea we can be trusted and really want to help them.

The second article, by Philip Zelikow, shows a more violent way of MAKING North Korea negotiate with the US in any way we want. I don't agree with this article at all because he criticizes the gov't instead of fillling the readers in on actual facts that could pursuae the reasons for his method of negotiation:bombing. He makes a huge deal about "testing" their nuclear missels and for having them. But why are we aloud to have weapons, but no one else...?

I chose the first article because there were no bombings involved. I don't understand why we should jump to the method of bombing and going to war with yet, another country just because we can. That is how I see a lot of our problems we have been presently dealing with; that is everyone's first resolution...BOMBING.
