If Necessary, Strike and Destroy: North Korea Cannot Be Allowed to Test This Missile
Op-Ed, Washington Post
By Dr. William J. Perry, Former Co-Director, Preventive Defense Project and Ashton B. Carter, Former Co-Director, Preventive Defense Project, Harvard & Stanford Universities
Should the United States allow a country openly hostile to it and armed with nuclear weapons to perfect an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of delivering nuclear weapons to U.S. soil? We believe not. If North Korea persists in its launch preparations, the United States should immediately make clear its intention to strike and destroy the North Korean Taepodong missile before it can be launched.
