Tempting Seoul by Its Energy Dependence
In the wake of the nuclear crime of the century - Mark Leon Goldberg points out why cutting India slack is especially egregious - New Delhi is starting to whisper the silver-tongued blandishments in the ears of the smaller fish.
Korea as member of the NSG group has been positive toward the India-U.S. deal. However its role in NSG negotiations has not been up to its status as the 11th largest economy in the world.
At best it has been only passive in nature. As a net energy importer country, the India-U.S. deal can go a long way in securing Korea's energy needs in the coming decade. It will also help in strengthening its strategic and economic alliance with India and the U.S.
So it should become active and join India and the U.S. in persuading the NSG members who have expressed some reservations on the deal. South Korea is emerging as a great economic power. It must start acting like one by playing active role in world affairs.
Lucifer himself couldn't do it any better!
