Desperate tyrant, global menace
Article Abstract:
North Korean leader, Kim Jong Il, has a single goal, which is to retain power, and he should be persuaded that he will not benefit by launching a rocket across the Pacific. North Korea faces hunger and is isolated. A number of incentives have been offered by South Korea and the US to persuade North Korea to continue a halt to its nuclear program and the sale and testing of rockets. Kim appears to belive that bad behvaior brings rewards, and there is a need for sanctions as well as rewards to persuade him that this is not the case.
