Kim Myong Chol, author of a number of books and papers in Korean, Japanese and English on North Korea. He is executive director of the Center for Korean-American Peace, and is often called an “unofficial” spokesman of Kim Jong-il and North Korea, writes, “If the financial sanctions are intended to cut off North Korea’s income source to fund the nuclear-weapons development program, it is highly unlikely that the objective will be accomplished.”

ADF Shuns Used Gear After Bungle On Choppers,
Brendan Nicholson, Age, 2006-02-16Long delays and serious problems with a $1 billion contract to rebuild a fleet of 1960s helicopters for the navy have driven the Australian Defence Force to swear it will never again buy second-hand equipment.

New Iraq Role Ahead,
Patrick Walters and Peter Alford, Australian, 2006-02-14Australian troops will stay in Iraq, most likely in training roles, after the expected wind-up of the al-Muthanna task group later this year. A scaled-down Australian ground force in Iraq is likely to be matched by a steady build-up in Afghanistan where about 500 Australians could be stationed by later this year.

Policy Forum 06-13A: When in Doubt, Blame South Korea: The Politics of Food Aid to North Korea
Wonhyuk Lim, a CNAPS Visiting Fellow at the Brookings Institution, a Fellow at the Korea Development Institute (KDI), and Korea National Strategy Institute (KNSI), writes, “the controversy over food aid to North Korea may be regarded as yet another example of this tendency to ignore changing realities and criticize engagement without producing a viable policy alternative. The end of the Cold War showed that even “an evil empire” was full of normal people and leaders who could bring about an enormous change when it was engaged with the outside world. Perhaps a return to what worked in the past may be a better policy than wishing for a regime change without any realistic strategy.”
