John Bolton, former ambassador to the United Nations, discusses his views on how best to solve the problem of North Korean nuclear proliferation. Referencing his article in the May/June 2009 issue of The National Interest, Bolton thinks that the best way forward is not continued negotiation, à la the six-party talks, but instead a more confrontational and demanding approach that echoes the strategy of George W. Bush's first term.
