Experts call for realistic policy to contain North Korea
With North Korea's recent show of force unequivocally showing that its nuclear and missile technologies have become a growing threat, an increasing number of experts say it's time to think about a more realistic, attainable goal than denuclearization to deal with the North. In that respect, an arms control agreement is emerging as a likely option to deter the escalating nuclear threat from North Korea, according to some diplomatic observers, while others disagree because doing so would recognize North Korea as a nuclear state.
