The North Korean problem - an American perspective

Interview with Gordon Flake

"There needs to be a very credible force option on the table", says Gordon Flake, "and at the same time there has to be an outlet for North Korea to go". In the interview, the Executive Director of "The Maureen and Mike Mansfield Foundation" judges the current crisis and proposes as a solution the U.S., China, Russia, South Korea and Japan to speak with one voice of force. "Europe to be honest", he says, "is not a player here".
