North Korea has carried out its first ever nuclear test, provoking a storm of protest from the international community.

Worried or is it their right to arm themselves?

So let me get this straight.. it was OK to invade Iraq to change a brutal dictatorship, because intelligence suggested they had WMD ready to deploy in 45 minutes

.... but it's OK to let North Korea starve it's populace, spend years developing medium and long range missiles, and nuclear bombs..... and then sit on our hands and say how awful it is.

Of course, the North Koreans aren't sitting on a sea of crude oil..that couldn't have anything to do with could it?.....

I'd be more worried if i lived in South Korea.

My only fear now is that Bush is going to overreact and invade, but they don't have oil fields so that might not be a priority.

But Bush isn't worried 'cos he knows the little yellow fella's are resourceful and eat dog anyway, so they aren't really starving- that's just media spin...


it's those iranians and iraqi's that are the problem, we don't want them fighting and burning up all that lovely balck gold, do we?
