Warlike: The 30-year-old dictator has issued a series of thundering pronouncements directed at the West
Joel S. Wit, New York Times: How 'Crazy' Are the North Koreans?
Washington — AS someone who has spent most of the past 25 years of his professional life in the United States government, think tanks and academia trying to stop the North Korean nuclear weapons program, I found last week's nuclear test and the events that followed depressingly familiar. They reminded me of Captain Renault's famous line from "Casablanca" just before he shuts down Rick's Café: "I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!" The reactions to North Korea's 2006, 2009 and 2013 nuclear tests were the same — shock. Yet a decade has gone by and the North Korean nuclear threat has only grown.
I probably shouldn't say this, but I take my hat off to the North Koreans. They have played their cards extremely well. Despite this episodic outrage, they have managed to become a full-fledged small nuclear power with a growing and increasingly sophisticated arsenal. Moreover, even as they have moved down the nuclear path, they have maintained fairly normal political, economic and other relations with many countries from China to Ethiopia. In effect, a large number of countries have tacitly accepted North Korea as a nuclear weapons state.
WNU Editor: This is an interesting opinion piece from a former U.S. diplomat who dealt with North Korea for years. In short .... he does not see them as crazy as the press and many in the West may like to portray North Korea. In my own case I only met North Koreans when I was working for the UN .... it was always during a General Assembly, and they always stuck together never talking to anyone alone. That in itself was strange .... in all of my years they were the only diplomatic group that stuck to such a regimen .... but as it was explained to me .... they are North Koreans .... they dress the same, they have a pin of their current leader, and no one expected anything else. But while former diplomat Joel S. Wit may dispute that North Korea is a crazy state, there is one group that I know who universally and strongly believe that the North Koreans are crazy .... and that is every Chinese official/diplomat/businessman/and civilian that I have met over the past 30+ years. Go figure it out.
