well, i have two things to say about this:
1. what a suprise.. I mean, who THINKS that they will stick to the treaty? No country does. And it is nice that they actually told the US about this, since it appears that the intelliegence has failed (again?)
2.

With comments like this, Bush is sure to make a good impression on North Korea. I mean, if he calls them an "Axis of Evil" in public, how are they supposed to react?
Nice of them to actually say what they have. |

| I'm not really scared. What however DOES worry me is the fact that Pakistan (our so called partner in the war on terrorism) has a-bombs. And that Iran and Iraw are on their way too... |

i think bush uses the word evil way too much. really makes me think less of his intelligence. i can't wait until we get him out of office. |

i was going to make a thread about this one, but decided to wait till the politics forum opened... guess we can start now then
as drizzt said, this is hardly shocking news, a CIA report in january said that during the second half of last year, North Korea "continued its attempts to procure technology worldwide that could have applications in its nuclear program." "We assess that North Korea has produced enough plutonium for at least one, and possibly two, nuclear weapons."
It is very surprising however that the North Koreans decided to go public with this, especially now - it sure does heats things up, cause now the general public gets all worked up about it.
personally i am not that scared of NK as a conquering empire becuase since the 50's they havent showed any imperialistic views on expanding their nation. I am scared however of a line i saw reported by the AP (i cant seem to find it now, been looking) that says that NK has and is selling long range rockets as well as other military weaponary to countries such as Iran, Syria and Iraq. |

Its not like the USA doesn't own weapons of mass destruction.
I think the so called "axis of evil" has that "if THEY got em WE got to have too" mentality.
Personally I think all the leaders should get togther and have a "disarm our nukes party". Have Armin spin Smoke a J pop a pill. |

but 'they are the bad guys'..
honestly, i cannot stand the overly religious (zealous?) stance bush puts on EVERYTHING.
of course, it is a great way to gather support. |

If they wanted to puzzle Washington, I think that it was a very smart move.
If they bomb Iraq and negotiate with Pyongyang, they'll totally lose the remaing international support Washington has got, because it'll show their double standards and that, the problem in Iraq is not the bomb at all.
If they bomb both countries, it'll be a huge mistake, because they'll just destroy all the work for peace that was being done in the Far East and I'm not quite sure if the American economy would be ready for such thing.
If they negotiate with both governments, Bush will lose his chances of overthrowing Saddam, as he wanted to. In fact, Bush biggest problems are the petroleum companies and the radicals jews inside the government (and maybe, even himself :D).
The rad jews won't ever support the creation of a Palestine state, which is the source of all this mess in the middle east. If Washington showed the arab nations that they're willing to promote peace for both sides, things will calm down (including the terrorist threatnings America is so affraid of).
I believe I don't need to mention anything about the petroleum companies, do I? |
