So Simple. So Obvious. Won't Happen

Charles Krauthammer's response to the revelation that North Korea has a facility with thousands of uranium centrifuges:

We ought to...offer South Korea its own nuclear program and to encourage the Japanese to arm themselves if they need to. The way to say it is: All our [Six-Party] negotiations including China — with China — have not succeeded. You’re going to have to arm yourselves and develop a deterrent.

That will get the attention of the Chinese.

I bet it would. May beat the alternative of turning that facility into a big hole in the ground, too. That would be considerd asocial.
