More South Korean Lawmakers Call for Nukes

More South Korean Lawmakers Call for Nukes

More members of South Korea's governing party are calling for the country to develop an independent nuclear deterrent in order to counter a growing danger demonstrated by North Korea's recent successful atomic test, the JoongAng Daily newspaper reported this week.
"The only way to defend our survival would be to maintain a balance of terror that confronts nuclear with nuclear," said South Korean lawmaker Shim Jae-cheol of the Saenuri Party at a Supreme Council meeting earlier this week. His remarks followed comments made the previous week by fellow party member Representative Chung Mong-joon.
