The article encourages the U.S. government to practice restrain in accusing other states of possession of weapons of mass destruction and support for terrorism. The U.S. often mentioned North Korea, which has announced that it actually possesses nuclear weapons. The U.S. fears harm from North Korea's nuclear weapons, but North Korea builds those weapons because it fears attack by the U.S. Until very recently, the position of the U.S. was that it would not even enter into talks with North Korea until North Korea first agreed to roll back its nuclear program. The U.S. government should use diplomacy to persuade the public of its intention in North Korea.
