OK MR GATES. WHAT NOW?


By Eric Margolis

"One of the first things you learn in diplomacy 101 is not to make threats you can’t back up.

But that is just what US Defense Secretary Robert Gates did last week by thundering the US `would not accept,’ and `would not stand idly by’ while North Korea continued to develop nuclear weapons.....

The Obama administration should proceed with caution. This latest crisis with North Korea is clear proof that America’s world power has already reached its limits."
