...China and Japan, participants in the six-party talks, share a common need to defuse the crisis. A North Korea armed with doomsday weapons poses an indirect threat to China, because regional powers (Japan among them) would then be encouraged to equip themselves with their own nuclear deterrents. In addition, the talks offer China a chance to play a major role in solving a sensitive and intractable diplomatic issue, while at the same time improving its often rocky relations with the U.S. Japan, too, stands to gain from disarming Kim.

...Peddling Nuclear Secrets I was disappointed by your doomsday-style investigative reporting on nuclear scientist A.Q. Khan, who is under house arrest for selling Pakistan's nuclear secrets [Feb. 14]. Why not give your readers an alternative picture? Please try to understand: Pakistan is a country surrounded by problematic neighbors. We need our nukes to keep India quiet. We need to build economic ties with Iran for our mutual benefit. We need market access, scholarships, easy visas to other countries and technical know-how. Pakistanis have paid dearly for assisting the U.S. and the world community, first during the Afghan...
