I admire Fred Lamb for his knowledge and objectivity regarding U.S. and foreign weapons systems, but I think the following statement he makes is, at best, confused:
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><i class="">North Korea has long-range ballistic missiles and nuclear weapon programs that, if successful, would create a serious threat to the United States. </i></div>
<div class=""><i class=""><br class="">
</i></div>
<div class="">N. Korea would only be a threat to the U.S. if the U.S. attacked that country, or believed the U.S. was on the verge of attacking. The latter is what the U.S. administration is claiming it is liable to do. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The solution to fears of a N.Korea threat to the U.S. “homeland” is to stop its own military maneuvers in and around N. Korea, to end the nonresovled U.S.-Korean war, and to diplomatically come to a peaceful agreement with N. Korea (as as done
in the 90’s)</div>
