Peace in Korea is clearly visible now.
If there is any justice, history is going to look kindly upon Moon
Jae-in of South Korea and Kim Jong-un of North Korea, plus all those who
participated in the negotiations.
Donald Trump has surely played a part too. He should get a deserved
boost from this. His position volatility, bobbing and weaving like a
boxer in order to unsettle the opposition and ready a knockout blow, is
such that we never quite know what he’s aiming for or where he stands.
In time all will be revealed. At the moment, we have to hope that he
uses the boost wisely and draws lessons from an appropriate
understanding of how this peace has come about. One lesson is that John
Bolton could not have been more wrong about North Korea.
The details of how and why this remarkable event has transpired are
unknown at present. It’s up to reporters to inform us and the Nobel
people. It appears that the man who took a very big step forward and
took the initiative was Moon Jae-in last July. See here.
We’ve had so few victories for peace to celebrate in a long time that
this one stands out as something that could turn the entire world
around, maybe even mitigating the existing fear and hostility in this
country toward Iran. Maybe the peace movement in Israel will make more
headway too.
