M.P. Barry: A Window of Opportunity with North Korea
- Thursday, February 2, 2012
The U.S. should lead the way to offer a realistic vision for final peace on the Korean peninsula.

China has its proper role to play in Korean peace, but is best if done in conjunction with its neighbors. President Obama should take full advantage of this window of opportunity and convey to the North that the U.S. is willing to work with it to help push for peace and stability in the region.
