ROH MOO-HYUN: FORCE AGAINST NORTH KOREA IS NOT AN OPTION (NYT; free registration required)
Mr. Roh said he would not contemplate a military strike against the North Korean nuclear complex at Yongbyon, even if it were found that Pyongyang was reprocessing nuclear fuel for bomb production. "I don't think we should even go so far as to imagine such a situation," he said.

The president-elect also said that South Korea would not develop nuclear weapons in response to North Korean armament, asserting that "nuclear development will not be permitted in Korea either North or South."
As I have said before, we'd better get used ot the idea of a North Korea with nuclear weapons.
