North Korea has warned that it will regard any economic sanctions imposed by Japan in response to an ongoing kidnap row as a "declaration of war".

North Korea has nuclear capabilities. Don't give in to them evbery time and do not have an Defensive missile system on your country and see what comes you guys are rediculous. The world isn't a game but if it were you guys would be the people that never make it past the 1st level where you keep just wanting to bomb everyone and never let others do the work for you. =-) ...

Why would Russia or China (amongst the rest) want to stop trading with Nth Korea just because for now the USA says it suits current US policy?
A reason might be that the North Korean econmy has collseped due to a number of factors and they cant pay back money owed to Russia and China.

We can always hope. We're hoping that Arafat dying will open some new doors, and we know that Castro dying probably will, so why shouldn't Kim's death provide some kind of opportunity to look for the same.
The best thing that could happen to N. Korea at this point is to be defeated and occupied by a US led coalition including as partners China, Japan, and Russia.

Well there is nothing wrong with hope. But whats needed is action.
If the regime was to fall troops may be needed to ensu5re nutcases dont try and bring south east asia down with then.
Not sure about China and Russia sending troops to a united Korea might not go down so well.

what is the UN doing about N. Korea? That's right. Nothing.
They will wait until someone else go's in and mucks it up, at which point they will then criticize whoever actually did have the stones to act. No help there.
