Yes, please come over and snoop through all of our underground tunnels and facilities. The UN really is rediculous, as is the US.

I do not understand their logic in believing they have the right to uncover every little nook and cranny in every country including WMD, bio, etc... The US is probably the biggest violator on all counts, yet they still feel they have the right to order other countries to disclose their secrets.

I love listening to insecure american schmucks talk about security etc...america = global hypocrite.

To get back on topic, it is likely that most countries have underground facilities for the transportation of various materials in order to be undetected. This is not anything new.

The end.

Lukefj.

I know it's nothing new, this is an article from 1974. ?



And i am sure that South Korea was very interested in knowing exactly what these tunnel systems were desighned for.

queenari,

I was not attacking your post at all. It is interesting to know that a country like North Korea has a secret tunnel system. However, I was simply pointing out the hypocrisy of demanding to see the extent of them by the US or UN.

I did see that the article was from 74, that's fine, this might be of increasing significance given current events involving this country recently.

I am also sure that South Korea is interested in knowing the designs for the tunnels. However, I'm also sure that there are plenty fo things about S. Korea that N. Korea would like to know about.

WE all have secrets.

Lukefj, when will you ever learn to look closer before going into a "hate america" diatribe... The UN had to be involved because it was a serious incident. The tunnels that you say should remain secret were under another country...South Korea. I think if America started to dig a bunch of tunnels under Canada... you would say what.? go away capitalist pig? Canada would probably ask America to stop, and if that didn't work you would cry to the UN also. South Korea had a right to be worried and the UN had a right to step in. I hope if they see precursors to war in any nation, that they would act. True, it might not do any good physically. But at least it would bring public condemnation to the "secret project". I still have hopes that the UN will ask for disclosure of captured alien artifacts someday (for the good of humanity). But then, we all know aliens don't really exist.

I agree, I wouldn't want Americans digging under Canada or anywhere else....but, they do. maybe in coalition with the Canadian government, but not in the public eye....what about Pine Gap?

I don't hate America, but I do feel they overstep their bounds frequently. In this case the UN did step in, but the US was joint discoverer of the tunnels. Simple solution for unauthorized tunnels under your country...explore them and explode them or use them for your own purposes.

problem solved.

I remember reading a story in a future war (2006) book and it touched upon this korean scenario, intelligence suggestions the north koreans do have tunnels however there are sophisticated seismic sensors put in place by the US Government and South Korean counterparts, however i wouldnt put it past the north koreans to dig them by hand instead of using heavy plant machinery.

Lukefj -
Please remember that the U.N. and the U.S. are completely different... The U.S. just happens to be the MVP of the U.N.

On one hand you have a very valid point...I agree that the U.S. gets involved in many situations where involvment is un-warranted. By supporting any country, or activist group, the U.S. will always make enemies.

However, if the U.S. did not step up to the plate and make countries (i.e. Iraq) comply with U.N. directives, then who would?? The French? We know the answer there... It is imperative that countries be held in check by inspections etc... our government just makes the mistake of being the first and only country to readily run to the aid of the U.N.

Don't blame our country for attempting to keep the world at peace...blame the terrorists and other harm-seeking activist groups for attempting to upset the balance of life on the planet earth!!

That's just the way I feel...

there are many tunnels that go all under the americas that probably do not end in usa...
and we freely steal oil off the coast of mexico with no problem...
ist that why saddam invaded kuwait...
hey, at least he decided to honorably handle their citizens after takeover, be it death or countryship...
