Seems like this time, somebody is bound by duty (or simply... pure folly?) to deliver the goods - AT LONG LAST! Verily, North Korea appears truly intent on delivering to us the apocalypse on a silvery or cindery-ash colored platter, whereas past "pretenders" to that dubious honor all backed off halfway through the heart-wrenching process of getting even remotely close to that! Their mocking anger and stern -if also stubborn- resolve to carry on testing packs quite the wallop on the international stage and the usual harrumphing from all the peace-loving, doom-fearing, apocalyptic naysaying believers in "human wisdom" (the ultimate oxymoron, eh?) has been going on full-throttle, almost non-stop since the initial few tests... For, when gun-slingers shoot a few bottles to shardy smithereens, it is because a good old-fashioned gunfight is looming on the horizon - correct? Hence, here, with the North Koreans' hatred of America and their deeply-ingrained suspicion that Uncle Sam will himself be gunning for them soon, the way he did with Iraq, talks of doing with Iran and never seems quite done doing it to Afghanistan, the "biggest of gunfights" seems to be ON. Indeed, it is not even a question of what if or simply "if" any longer, but a question of when...



To get you in the mood for the Apocalypse already, how about some music by Juno Reactor - the official soundtrack purveyor for Armageddon! "Navras" is the track - et je suis vraiment navré (!) about that!

Luci--Have you seen Team America?

I do not see it this way. We are actually at war with North Korea. A cease fire agreement is as close to peace as we have ever gotten. Why would an enemy at war with us ever agree to anything?

First, we have to sign a PEACE AGREEMENT with them, so they will not feel so THREATENED with imminent attack. Bush showed what he would do to nations without nuclear weapons with IRAQ. Now North Korea is making sure that they are not attacked without a huge price to pay for the nation doing it. I do not blame them or any other nation responding now with nuclear arms buildup to protect themselves from unilateral invasion for any old reason..... by Bush or Bush III or IV, or V.

So, Bush is into cloning - or like Rocky, hmm?

Peace Treaties have been breached in the past - even if one was to be signed here, it shall not suffice. Genuine goodwill is required. Anybody has any of that left in their pantry - hmm?

This type of chess game here can be mighty dangerous indeed - as much as one can understand North Korea for doing what they're doing, they are effectively working towards a "no-win situation for everyone". Whereas the Bush administration is working towards... aw, beats me! Any guesses, anyone?

As for the Team America question - I shall not answer that without the presence of my attorney!

North Korea pulled out of the NNT (Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty) back in 2003. The current leader of that country is a known mad-man; he starves his own people to divert funds to building and testing nuclear weapons. Why does he do that, if he's "just testing" them? Why does he even want to test them?

North Korea has developed a Taepodong-2 long-range ballistic missile with the capabilities to destroy a sizeable portion of the United States - and JongII has even stated that he's aiming it right at the U.S.

I personally think this mad-man is blackmailing the U.S. More than this, I think this mess is one of those damned-if-you-do/damned-if-you-don't situations that's going to require very careful handling...
