http://www.turkishpress.com/news.asp?id=38363WASHINGTON - US President George W. Bush has not set an example to persuade allies to join nuclear non-proliferation efforts in Iran and North Korea, former US senator Sam Nunn said Wednesday.
"We have to have other countries to put pressure on Iran, we have to have other countries to put pressure on North Korea, like Japan, like China, like South Korea and get those countries to really join in enthusiastically," Nunn spoke to reporters at the National Press Club in Washington.
"It's awfully hard to ask countries around the globe to do a lot more to fight against the North Koreans or the Iranians getting nuclear weapons if we ourselves seem to be increasing our dependence on nuclear weapons," Nunn said.
"We have to have an example we are setting ourselves."
