The Chronicle of Higher Education notes a recent post by Professor Weinberger on his blog, Security Dilemmas:
Seth Weinberger, at Security Dilemmas, tries to puzzle out the diplomatic ramifications of last month’s airstrike against what was reportedly a nascent nuclear reactor in Syria, perhaps supplied by North Korea.
The U.S. diplomatic response has been divided, Weinberger summarizes (off reporting in The New York Times), because of how the incident might shake and possibly destroy nonproliferation talks with North Korea.
Weinberger, an assistant professor of international relations and political philosophy at the University of Puget Sound, hopes the Bush administration’s factions will find a balance. Hawks, he says, “oppose the North Korea deal in and of itself and very well might like to use the strike as a pretense for scuttling the deal. ... But ignoring the reactor entirely may have been even worse.”
