Kerry speaks on North Korea's nuclear test calling for the world to respond with one voice

[karynnj]

"The international community must speak with "one voice" in condemning North Korea's latest nuclear weapons test, U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry said Monday.

Speaking in Beijing where he is meeting officials this week, the Massachusetts Democrat called Pyongyang's attempts to win international attention "reckless, stubborn, and persistent," but said it would never win the security, legitimacy and respect it craves.

"North Korea should wake up and realize that only denuclearization offers a path to genuine security and economic opportunity," Kerry said.

"The international community should now speak with one voice, to condemn the North's nuclear test and urge it to abandon its irresponsible behavior," he said."

1. Now THAT'S leadership. And Senator Kerry has...

...credibility and has earned the respect of many world leaders, so there is a good chance they will follow. Bush could never have pulled it off. With the new Obama Administration's strong foreign policy team (Kerry, Biden, Clinton, and so many others) speaking loudly with one voice, it could make an impact.

I saw this on the news last night. Thanks for posting it, karynnj.
