Johns Hopkins neurosurgeon Ben Carson, who faced criticism for controversial
comments about same-sex marriage, stepped down Wednesday as the commencement
speaker for the university.Carson sent medical school Dean Paul Rothman
a letter, obtained by FoxNews.com, saying that he didnt want to distract
from the celebratory nature of the day.""Commencement is about the students
and their successes, and it is not about me," Carson wrote. "I
want to make certain that remains so."In the past few weeks, Carson
has backtracked on comments he made about gay marriage. In an interview
on Fox News, he had said "no group, be they gays, be
they NAMBLA, be they people who believe in bestiality ... they don't
get to change the definition" of marriage.Carson, who has become a rising
conservative star after publicly questioning Obama's health care overhaul
earlier this year, later apologized.On Friday, Rothman released a statement
calling Carsons comments offensive and said the university recognizes that
tension now exists in our community because hurtful, offensive language
was used by our colleague, Dr. Ben Carson, when conveying a personal
opinion. Dr. Carsons comments are inconsistent with the culture of our institution.Carson
also stepped down as the speaker for the Johns Hopkins University School
of Education diploma ceremony.Given all the national media surrounding my
statements as to my belief in traditional marriage, I believe it would
be in the be
rhetoric and confirmed that this will only serve to further isolate the
DPRK," the final communique said, using the acronym for North Korea's official
name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. "They urged the DPRK to
engage in credible and authentic multilateral talks on denuclearization."In
recent weeks, Washington and Beijing have cooperated on new sanctions against
the North and both have decried the increasing threats from Kim Jong
Un's government, which have expanded to include talk of a nuclear strike
against the United States. It is not believed to have such capacity,
but the provocative rhetoric has officials around the world extremely worried.At
the State Department meeting after North Korea's Feb. 12 nuclear test, different
ideas for how to bring about a new assertiveness from Beijing were
tossed around, according to the senior U.S. official, who wasn't authorized
to speak publicly about the meeting and demanded anonymity.One approach
could be described best as the power of persuasion: Make the case
to Chinese authorities, offered many times previously, that both the U.S.
and China share a common interest in ensuring a stable Korean Peninsula,
without the threat of nuclear war in the Asia-Pacific.The other approach
is more akin to the power of example: Show the Chinese what
it means if they cannot control the North's behavior by beefing up
U.S. defenses and sending more American military assets right into China's
backya
