The USA to defend Japan and South Korea - Obama

Telegraph: Reports that President Obama has stated that the USA will defend its Allies, Japan and South Korea. The reason the President has stated to these two countries that the USA will defend them is two fold, one after the nuclear and missile test of North Korea these two countries are worried that they are a target, the other reason is that Obama does not want South Korea and Japan to go nuclear, this would create an arms race in the region, an arms race that could go nuclear at any time. I can hear Diplomats from Asia, America, Europe to the Middle East even asking what does North Korea want to go back in to the box, quite hard if they wont talk, are Diplomats meant to read smoke signals.
