North Korea is the errant teenage child, aren't they? Or toddler - they're holding their breath until they get their way.

By the mid-1990s, nearly everything in North Korea was worn out, broken, malfunctioning. The country had seen better days.

Satellite images suggest North Korea is building a light-water reactor and working on uranium enrichment. This is troubling.

A feasible North Korea strategy must consider how to reassure China that our objectives on the peninsula are not aggressive.

If you think about it, the people of Cuba and North Korea will never meet because, well, they have restricted freedom of movement.

North Korea is like China was 30-plus years ago. Through our contact, we are certain they will become more open and more liberated.

No amount of sanctioning will persuade North Korea to give up nuclear weapons, nor will China step up and solve the problem for us.

North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States. They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen.

If the United States is accommodating, the North Koreans become accommodating. If the United States is hostile, they become hostile.

It's very certain that North Korea is developing nuclear weapons for offensive purposes. They don't need nuclear weapons to defend their own country.

We can't just pop off and drop a bomb on North Korea and think everything's going to be OK. It just doesn't work like that. It's a complicated puzzle.

The civilized world must remain united and vigilant against the rogue state's development of a nuclear arsenal. We will never accept a nuclear North Korea.

North Korea is really just the kid who decided he'd be 'all out crazy,' hoping people would be scared off by the tirades and avoid stepping up to the plate.

I've been arguing this for months. This is not our war. This is not a war we should be in. Australia's better spending its time negotiating with North Korea.

The other countries did not share the same concern the United States had in the early '90's - that North Korea actually had an ongoing nuclear weapons program.

Proliferation of nuclear weapons to terrorist organisations is far more dangerous than proliferation of nuclear weapons to states, even states like North Korea.

Twenty-five million people who live in North Korea are denied freedom in every respect of their lives. In short, they are hostages. Imagine 25 million hostages.
