Would the U.S. rather that South Korea not respond in kind with a military response?
MR. CROWLEY: Again, we will be guided by what South Korea, within its own government and pursuing its own interest, decides what it feels should be done. We are an ally and friend of South Korea and we will support them, whatever their choice is. We have other options available to us as well on this and we’ll be considering our options just as we discuss with South Korea what we think we should be doing individually and collectively. QUESTION: But certainly (inaudible) to the armistice would not be a helpful situation. MR. CROWLEY: I mean, there’s no interest in seeing the Korean Peninsula explode here. We all want to see a peaceful, stable, secure, and non-nuclear Korean Peninsula. The real issue now is we’ve had this event and how do we continue to work towards the broader end while managing this unfortunate incident. But clearly, this was a serious provocation by North Korea and there will definitely be consequences because of what North Korea has done. QUESTION: New topic? QUESTION
