The ruling in South Korea will be symbolic in the sense that it is the first of its kind in Asia and, depending on how the commission rules on the case, could trigger similar actions against Microsoft elsewhere in Asia.

I thought I came from a poor neighborhood until I got to Korea. There I saw people living in just little shacks with newspaper on the wall to keep the cold out. And coal burners were all they had for heat.

I do think that it is very important for government, for senior business leaders and frankly even for the press to make sure they are being responsible in how they talk about the issue. Because the messages they send are picked up by foreigners, potential foreign investors and can be damaging for Korea.

Attracting the type of companies we want, and especially their headquarters, means we have to attract them away from other places in Asia. So getting them to move to Korea would mean we'd have to be extremely attractive to outweigh the costs of the disruption of making the move.

I don't think China and Russia are going to make serious efforts to stop Iran or North Korea.

We were tied up in Korea; we were worried about the Russians. And, conceivably, they said 'nuclear' because they didn't want him to do anything for India; that this was a way of raising the stakes so high as to make it not an option.

[Then it was on to Asia. Based at Yokota Air Base in Japan, he rotated regularly to Osan Air Base in South Korea, where he was on alert to fly into Russia and drop nuclear weapons on military targets.] 'Sitting alert' in Korea was not practice,.. It was the real thing. I look back on that time... With a kind of amazement. No one expected that we would really drop a nuclear bomb on Russia. On the other hand we were prepared to do just that -- or thought we were.... I don't remember the particular targets near the city I was always slated to bomb, Vladivostok. But our four aircraft were possibly on the way to kill thousands of innocent people. People who'd never lifted a finger to harm me -- and never would.

It doesn't take any great stretch of the imagination to see what could happen if one of these central bank managers decides to dump dollars. We had a situation recently when a mid-level official at the Central Bank of Korea used the word 'diversification'. It was a throwaway remark at some obscure lunch, but there was instantaneous overreaction. The US stock market fell by 100 points in 15 minutes because the implication was that South Korea might be shifting out of US dollars. So picture this: you have a quiet day in the market and maybe some smart MBA at the Central Bank of Chile or someplace looks at his portfolio and says, 'I got too many dollars here. I'm gonna dump 0 billion'. So he dumps his dollars and suddenly the market thinks, 'My god, this is it!' Of course, the first guy out is OK, but you sure as hell can't afford to be the last guy out. You would then see an immediate cascade effect - a world financial panic on a scale that would dwarf the Great Depression of the 1930s.

There is an intrinsic urgency (in the Bush administration) because even as we're talking, the (nuclear) program in North Korea is not frozen. Each day that passes brings an added increment of risk and danger.

I believe in shooting for the moon. We had a Taiwan team here, but I'd like to have something like the World Baseball Classic and have teams from places like Korea and the Caribbean come here to play.

There's no doubt this is the most powerful reverberation we've ever had on North Korea. Cutting into the illicit foundations of their regime should provide an incentive for them to start opening up and cooperating.

China is playing the role of mediator. Its hosting of the six-party talks forces the United States and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) to sit at the negotiating table and work toward a peaceful solution.
