Wait until the "Discussion and Recommendation" part for my choice. lirelou: A good point, but remember, this is just an option, it’s not actually something I’m suggesting.

Chirol, In reference to "The U.S. would not pressure either country to develop its own capability but inform them we would no longer object." That would be a major error in the ROK's case. There is a feeling among some Korean analysts that the ROK does not oppose the Nork's nuclear program because they expect to inherit it one the norther state collapses. Notice that South Koreans have worked on building their own bomb in the past, and we may yet discover that they continue to do so, though there is not a shred of evidence that they are currently doing so. For many Koreans, nuclear weapons would be simply another proof that Korea has attained great nation status. Esteemed M.

How so? And both NPT and NSG has been seriously undermined because of last week's decision to give Delhi a privileged status,thanks to the lobbying from Washington. Japan has nothing to be blamed of.
