The Times (May 21)
North Korea is “evil.” The Times condemns the “gangster regime” for sinking the South Korean navy ship, the Cheonan, and the deaths of 46 sailors. “The unprovoked firing of a torpedo in South Korean waters was an act of aggression that fits a pattern of state terrorism and fanatical xenophobia.” The Times calls for “strong, wide and unified” international condemnation. Moreover, there should be no negotiating with North Korea as “the violence and duplicity of the North Korean regime are notorious,” making negotiation “worse than useless.”
