Punished by who?.

Dont give me anything about the holocaust, I think that has been over dramatised enough. The Palestinians and Lebanese had nothing to do with the holocaust, when did they have to make room for Europes problem?

maybe one is getting them for defensive means while the other is specifically pursuing them for offensive means.

They are both defensive. North Korea has stated many times that it will give up its nuclear program if the US signs a non-agression pact with the North Koreans. The war between America, South Korea and North Korea is still technically active. its the US refusal to end this conflict which is forcing the North Koreans to acquire weapons to protect itself from American agression (Iraq, Iran, Afganistan).

If you know a little background about local korean history you will know they have a reason to worry about their safety. A local neo-converative Japanese polictican has been appointed in japan while America has been invading every country and spreading "American values" all over the world. Im sorry, but i dont see the world through the same eyes as an american

China would still be a third world country if it wasn't for US diplomacy.

China is a third world country Because of US diplomacy. It was the US refusal which led china to lean on the Soviet union and embargo chinese products ater china became communist.

US diplomacy doesn't just help American interests it helps all of human interests by standing up for human rights

Oh, thats right. The great campaigner for human rights

ABU GHRAIB

My Lai

No Gun Ri Massacre

They are just three selective events of American kindness

Finally, I just saw a headline on Fox News that said that there was no radiation detected on the entire Korean pennisula

[size=4]North Korea's Nuke Test-Radiation Confirmed[/size]

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A preliminary analysis of air samples from North Korea shows "radioactive debris consistent with a North Korea nuclear test," according to a statement from the office of the top U.S. intelligence official.

The statement, from the office of Director of National Intelligence John Negroponte, was sent to Capitol Hill but not released publicly. CNN obtained it from a congressional source.

If confirmed, the nuclear weapons test that North Korea claimed it conducted on Monday would be the first of its kind since Pakistan's underground blast in 1998.
