Bush doesn't run America. Money does.

The UN doesn't run the world. Power does.

What is power in this world???

Money.

Money money money.

Then again public opinion is pretty powerful too. But not as powerful as money. That is obvious when we observe our ignorance to the crimes of the Pakistani and Saudi Regimes. We make money off of those relationships, and to this date no public opinion has been able to rid us of that horrible connection.

However, this is about North Korea and the possibility of the government testing a nuke. So if you don't mind, I think we should get back to the subject.

by bush' second presidency or what not.

by the time bush is elected again, someone, somewhere, will make sure that he's not around to invade anyone else.

You can't always buy public opinion dude. Money helps but if at the end of the day you don't spend it right, public opinion will kick your butt.

As for North Korea? She'll do whatever China lets her do.
She's the Chinese Home Insurance Policy.

it wants NK weapons gone as much as we do, they feed the beast, but they don't control it. north korea holds everyone in their scope, ally or not.

Don't believe a word of that.

If China didn't want those nuclear weapons on her doorstep there is NO way she would let them be there in the first place.

The US might be the only "superpower" in the World but China isn't that far behind you. If at all. It's possible that she could even be on a level with the US. She's certainly got the manpower and the brains.

Don't EVER underestimate China. She was playing with fireworks thousands of years before your nation ever thought about the 4th of July.
Remember: If it looks weak, it's probably strong.


She's not your enemy though. She's just frightened of you.

Did anyone make any more of Katie's comment about the North Korean practice missile found in Alaska?

Was that a real event?

Launched from NK or a ship?

Why wasn't it intercepted?

Is it a "pre-planted" WMD justifying more US aggression, or is it something to really concern US citizens?

dude china doesn't need north koreans untested nukes when it has it's own stock of nukes. and that tiny peninsula? it could an even more powerful and exact assault with its own weapons. i don't any nation is afraid of us, just respectful, they front with gifts, but they are plotting a way out, look at europe.

Q. Do North Korean intelligence gatherers share their reports of US nuclear weapon manufacturing and testing programs with any other countries, as the US shares its intelligence with allies?

If the answer is yes, then there might be an 'axis' of evil or anti-Americanism.

But I doubt it.

I am not happy for the US to proliferate any weapons of mass destruction.

They fall into the wrong hands too often, with fast buck profit motives.

dude, i don't know if you've been watching the news lately, but i'm pretty sure there is a large feeling of anti-americanism in lots of places.
