Hillary Clinton adopts softer line with North Korea

Hilary Clinton, the secretary of state started her mission abroad in Japan. She stated that the possible missle launch by North Korea would be unhelpful, especially when they are trying to form a better relationship with the United States. However, she promised humanitarian aid, diplomatic recognition, and security guarantees for North Korea if it gave up completely on its nuclear weapons.

She spoke about President Obama's statement in his inaugural address that "the US will reach out a hand to those with whom we have differences, as long as they unclench their fists." The decision is up to them to end reckless language and threats. She also talked about harmony and balance between countries and their relationships. She stated that the US wants a peace treaty rather than a ceasefire, and that the US is willing to help the people of North Korea. Hilary Clinton will continue her trip to South Korea and China soon.

I think Hilary Clinton is doing a good job by traveling to the opposite side of the world to talk more effectively to the Asian countries rather than just sitting back at home. It shows that she really cares and wants to get these Korean conflicts solved as quickly and peacefully as possible. North Korea has to stop its rash and irresponsible threats right now and turn its attention towards peace, not war.
