North Korea Conducts Nuclear Test
viyh writes "North Korea conducted a nuclear test on Monday, South Korea's Yonhap news agency quoted a ruling party official as saying.
A magnitude 4.7 earthquake was recorded by the USGS in North Korea.
South Korean President Lee Myung-bak has called an emergency meeting of cabinet ministers over the test, Yonhap said."
People claimed Bush was able to stage/provoke 9/11 in just nine months. It's perfectly fair to blame this on Obama, it's all part of the job.
Communism didn't work for several reasons but two of about the biggest ones were:
- constant paranoia about getting sabotaged by outside enemies, which paralyzed progress by destroying mutual trust, on which communism must be built to succeed.
- constantly getting sabotaged by actual outside enemies - CIA funding religious extremists opposing the nation, never-ending propaganda about the paradise of the capitalist life, restrictions in trade of modern technologies, constant threat of war which stole lots of resources for army, which could otherwise be used on making lives better.
Of course there were other factors, but these two were nowhere near the least.

The he only way countries like Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan etc can be sure they wont be invaded is to get nuclear weapons.
It would have been much easier arguing against these countries getting nuclear arms of the west had not invaded countries right and left for no reasons. Stupid decisions brings terrible effects.
I very highly doubt these weapons will ever be used. The only country that has ever used an atombomb so far is the US so i would watch them more closely than North Korea.

What a wonderful way to remember those that died by kicking it off with the most destructive force man has come up with.

>we'll have no other choice than to take him out of the game permanently.
It hasn't been that easy since John Wayne died.
America took Saddam Hussein out of the game permanently. Instantly peace and stability were returned to the Middle East, Americans are welcomed with open arms every where they go and harmony has been restored to the planet.
Afghanistan? Another robust success. Taking Kim Jong-il out could only build on those triumphs of American foreign policy.

"A magnitude 4.7 earthquake was recorded by the USGS in North Korea."
When did they sneak in there? Okay, being a grammar bammer, but really it should read:
"A magnitude 4.7 earthquake in North Korea was detected by USGS sensors in [some_place]."
Going on means going far
Going far means returning
This doesn't surprise me a bit. John Bolton predicted this a week ago. "Oh, but they dismantled their nuke program!" Um, sure, the stopped trying to make fissile material because it's probably far cheaper to buy it from the Iranians. And I have no doubt that North Korea traded with Iran for the designs and other essential technology. So in fairly short order we'll have two extremist countries with nukes. WW3 is coming, folks, but keep believing you can talk them out of it.
Although I can hear you now, except you'll replace the refrain with "bleeding heart liberal" or something similar.
Well, let's put our money where our mouth is, shall we. I've got two American cars in my driveway, and when they die, I'll have two more American cars. I may be a right wing lunatic but if it says Made-in-USA and has that UAW sticker on the window, then those are the wheels for me.
Not all conservatives are National Review buy Japanese to screw the union traitors. Last time I checked, there's a lot of guys that came back from World War II and -built the union-, their sons fought in Vietnam and their sons fought in Desert Storm and quite frankly their sons are sitting in Iraq and Afghanistan and I don't think its too much to ask that Americans, well, do the conservative thing and support American companies.
There is a limit to which we take animosity over social issues. No, I'm not in love with unions, but I'd proudly drive my cars with the UAW sticker on the window, because it also says Made in USA. No, I'm not in love with a lot of liberal screenwriters or actors, but I'll watch their movies, because they are Made in USA. And I'm not in love with a lot of the militant gay stuff out there, but I'll tell you this, if I had a choice between driving a car made by an American gay atheist communist, or, a straight god fearing German guy.... I'm buying the American car. It's like, one can bicker about culture, but slitting your own economic throat because of it is just stupid.
You can't have America the melting pot without having a sense of nationalism deep enough to overlook one's cultural and ideological background. And I think its more conservative to say that, and a damn site more conservative to say it than the idiots at the NRO who say that they are going to go buy Japanese cars because they are bitter that GM is getting a federal bailout... one has to ask, are they going to give up on American food too...?
I'm pretty serious about this and the web site in my sig has a lot to say to about it. I've got the state flag of Alabama redone as a Japanese flag after Jeff Sessions made his remarks about... oh jeez we can't help GM because its not fair to Honda. I've got an essay that pretty much shows how protectionism actually made the USA what it was by first helping the North to win the civil war and then later laying the groundwork for the economic explosion that took place from 1870 to 1920.
This is my sig.
