Carter Urged To Intervene In North Korea Nuclear Standoff:
Left-wing and civic organizations in South Korea are appealing to former U.S. President Jimmy Carter to help resolve the crisis over North Korea's nuclear weapons program.Peanut Brain has been a big help so far.
The Korean Peace Network, an umbrella group of 13 organizations, planned to send a letter Tuesday to the former president and 2002 Nobel peace prize winner, urging him to intervene to decrease tensions on the divided peninsula.
They include such groups as Green Korea, Women Making Peace and People's Solidarity for Participatory Democracy (PSPD).
PSPD spokesperson Yeara Park said from Seoul Tuesday the group did not expect Carter to "solve the problem by himself, but maybe he can raise the issue somewhere."
