The IAEA should be worried, as I am worried about it, because North Korea is now a nuclear power state with a ballistic missile program.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When the President of Iran talks about removing Israel from the face of the Earth and is building nuclear bombs with a range of 3000km, you have to be worried.
Seen from the United States or Europe, Iran's nuclear program often causes most concern, but from the perspective of countries in the Asia-Pacific region, the North Korean program is equally worrying.
While our nation's attention is rightly focused on the Middle East, the North Korean threat has grown exponentially, while there seems to be a falling asleep, so to speak, at the switch when it comes to North Korea.
One morning, just like 9/11, there's going to be a disaster. I have yet to see the United Nations do anything effective with either Iran or North Korea.
My greatest concern is that the emergence of this technology without the appropriate public attention and international controls could lead to an unstable arms race.
It kind of scares me, the notion that we're going to be injecting ourselves into other countries' affairs when they're not posing a threat to our security. I wouldn't be telling Israel what to do.
North Korea is going to get away with keeping its nuclear weapons.
The greatest threat that the world faces is a nuclear Iran. A nuclear North Korea is already troubling enough.
The larger picture here is that a North Korea with nuclear weapons adds to the larger proliferation risk.
If we are to assume that North Korea becomes a nuclear-power state, of course the danger of having an all-out nuclear war, that possibility is very slim.
