When I say that the Korean situation is much worse than our talk would indicate, I don’t mean we should delay on Iraq. No sense doing that unless we are ready for war in Korea. And unfortunately, I think we’ve been checkmated there. So much is silence on this issue. While our interests overlap to an extent with the South Koreans, they are also very different. The Koreans naturally fear the destruction of Seoul. We dread the destruction of Washington or New York. But the war it would require to prevent the sale of the nuclear material that could take out New York would spell the end of Seoul. An invasion of Iraq is still necessary, but even with great success against Saddam, we are not likely to emerge unscathed from this terrible new world of terrorism and weapons of mass destruction.
