What is pretty clear is that we will be faced with the specter of another nuclear power which can use their weapons to threaten South Korea, to threaten Japan . . . with every prospect that they will sell some of that plutonium and nuclear bombs to the highest bidder so they might end up in American cities as well. -William J.

I believe the assessment that if we pull out it will leave an unsettled situation that is bad for the neighborhood and bad for us. Therefore I'd be willing to stay longer if I believed what we're doing would lead to progress in six to 12 months. But I have not seen that evidence, so I'm skeptical that it will. . . . So it may be what we're pursuing, if not effective, then there's no point to it.
