In dealing with North Korea, two fundamental issues must be addressed. First, although governments are justified in criticizing North Korea for its foolhardy, counterproductive, and self-destructive behavior over many years, including numerous inhuman acts perpetrated against its own people and others, North Korea is not solely to blame for its “missile tantrum.”
在应对朝鲜问题上，我们必须注意两个基本问题。首先，虽然各国政府有权批评朝鲜多年来的莽撞、适得其反以及自毁性的行为——包括许多朝鲜侵害其自己的人民和他人的不人道行为，但是，朝鲜不应该是唯一一个为其“导弹怒火”承担责任的国家。
