Isn't she great? President Park Geun-hye is centered on peace. That has to be a very strong agenda. The peace priority has to drive non-proliferation. Never in the history of the North Pacific, which includes Alaska, has there been greater danger. And it is greater danger for everyone including the people of North Korea.

Will North Korea ever commit to non-proliferation if the USA shows no signs of a peace agenda? The idea the USA has to participate in a arms race is all part of that. North Korea has profound poverty in most of it's economy outside of the country's capital. It is interesting that Pyongyang has it's own Disneyland today. The young leader has children and an appreciation of enjoyment. In that has to be an understanding in his life that the future is vital to his children and the children of North Korea. The idea somehow there is going to be a war that will dissolve North Korea is silly. The North Koreans don't need anymore defeat, they need peace.

Non-proliferation has to go forward and the world, including Pyongyang, needs to be able to identify that movement as more than an abstract word without a clear definition. 

When Non-Proliferation is obvious to the world, countries can see the light at the end of the tunnel to invest more heavily in their economy rather than defense and bring their people out of poverty. There is a great deal hanging in the balance where peace has a strong agenda.

I have to laugh at Donald Rumsfeld. He invested his point of view on the fact NASA had a nighttime view of North and South Korea. There were no lights coming from North Korea. Rumsfeld answer was in invade and end the hideous poverty. It is amazing the attributes the war mongers hold for USA militarization and illegal wars. Lights. A commercial enterprise somehow is the answer to peace for North Korea. Amazing.

It didn't matter that the people of North Korea would choose poverty over street lights if it meant their deaths to achieve it. 

Then the USA wonders how Daesh is popular. 

The peninsula is on it's way to peace and more openness. The USA needs to encourage that reality and provide every venue to have that happen. We need to follow President Park Geun-hye's lead and make peace happen for the people of both North and South Korea.
