In other words, I want closer relations too, but I am uncomfortable with this particular change,

If I were sitting in North Korea, I wouldn't be too worried. We know the United States is tied down in Iraq, ... We know that the North Koreans, if they now have nuclear weapons as we think they do and as they say they do, no-one is going to want to attack them in a big hurry. It is simply too dangerous. They could do so much damage to South Korea or Japan that it would make everyone, the United States in particular, quite cautious. So I don't think that they are genuinely worried about an invasion. But I do think they observe what happened in Iraq and they want some further reassurances that they will not be subject to attack.

It's a very difficult situation where you don't know which side is going to blink first.

There will be opposition and it's difficult to predict which side will prevail, particularly because the desire for a closer relationship with India is very widespread and I include myself in that group too.

Words and actions do not make you a hero. Beliefs and values are what make you.

We know that our change in auditors and the investigation by the SEC have raised concerns. We understand those concerns and we certainly know that this company not only has to substantially improve its performance but also needs to enhance its financial controls and discipline.
