I enjoyed Dr. Quinones' visit to the class, thought it was quite interesting. Good to see a liberal that is willing to listen to somebody else's point of view (his coauthor). Brought up interesting points, saying that 6 party talks are not the way to go, none of the other 4 countries want in, also said bilateral wouldnt be very effective either though (it's slipped my mind as to what he supported...)
I was also interested to hear about KJL's health.. especially with this incident with Fidel Castro today.. funny that they say he can come back from this without a problem, even at 78?? Well, I suppose we'll just have to wait to see what comes of both of their health issues...

Kenneth Quinones may be a liberal but I have had serious doubts about some of the things he has said on the Korea security situation over the years. He is right of course that the multilateral six-powers talk has so far been fruitless. Part of the problem is with so many different actors, it has been hard to focus on the main issues. Japan, for example, has been 'hung up' on the status of their abductees. For this reason, I like Kerry's position that bilateral negotiations must be conducted alongside the multilateral talks in the future.
