Yet some policy officials and military experts claim that North Korea has already crossed that line, or is at least very close to attaching nuclear warheads to its missiles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"newLineContentFilterParagraph\">Kissinger offered his thoughts on the impending \u201cfork in the road,\u201d in which the administration may consider pre-emptive military action or increasingly tighter sanctions against the regime.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will hit that fork in the road, and the temptation to deal with it with a pre-emptive attack is strong, and the argument is rational, but I have seen no public statement by any leading official,\u201d Nixon\u2019s secretary of State told members of the Senate Armed Services Committee. \u201cBut in any event, my own thinking, I would be very concerned by any unilateral American war at the borders of China and Russia, in which we are not supported by a significant part of the world, or at least of the Asian world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The current North Korean trajectory, Kissinger continued, could lead to nuclear proliferation throughout Asia, as he believes South Korea will not accept being the only Korea without nuclear capability.
