North Korea might already possess the ability to strike Japan using ballistic missiles armed with deadly chemical weapons like sarin, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe warned Thursday.
The history of democracy shows very few wars between democratic states. Once China and North Korea can be democratized there will be real hope for peace in the world. The US, Japan and South Korea should support Taiwan's efforts for constitutional reform to attract China to democratize and pressure North Korea to do the same. Democracies everywhere should support Taiwan as a beacon for democracy in Asia, lighting the path to permanent peace and development. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.
