A Leader Emerges.(ISSUES & INSIGHTS)(EDITORIALS)(Editorial)
World Affairs: The international community is ganging up on Iran and North Korea. It's a tacit acknowledgment that, yes, there is an axis of evil.
While the G-8 meeting failed to produce anything of economic substance, the leaders of the seven most developed nations and Russia did put some of their time together in Evian-Les-Bains, France, to good use.
In a statement issued at the close of the meeting, they found solidarity in warning rogue regimes that developing weapons of mass destruction would not be tolerated.
"We strongly urge North Korea to visibly, verifiably and irreversibly dismantle any nuclear weapons programs," said the statement released Monday. It added the G-8 nations would be mindful of the "proliferation implications of Iran's advanced nuclear program."
Before the statement, it seemed the U.S. was nearly alone in its commitment to curb the nuclear arms and weapons of mass destruction ambitions of Iran and North Korea. Only South Korea and Japan, both easy targets of a nuclear North Korea, could summon any sort of opposition -- and that was of little importance.
So it's significant that China, which has deep influence on North Korea, and Russia, which has interests in Tehran's nuclear power development, appear to be firming up their positions.
