Bush Opposes Nukes for Allies

And he's the decider right?

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush said Monday he would oppose helping Japan, South Korea and Taiwan develop nuclear weapons to guard against any threat from a nuclear-armed North Korea.

"I think the less nuclear armament in the Far East, the better off the world will be," the president said in an interview.

Bush said the United States should work closely with its allies in Asia on a missile defense system. "Our missile defense systems are getting better and better because of the money that we have been spending over the past five years," he said.

The president said the U.S. has convinced its partners in talks with North Korea that Pyongyang should not have nuclear arms. "The problem is, it's a little frustrating for people; diplomacy is a little frustrating for people because things don't happen overnight.
