North Korea Goes Nuclear
October 11th, 2006 8
I’m at a bit of a loss of opinion on the whole Nuclear testing “thing” that’s been hitting the headlines the last few days. There’s an uproar, and rightly so I think, but Korea’s purpose in all this still remains a mystery to me.
Apparently now Kim Yong-nam says there will be more testing unless the US change it’s “hostile” policy towards them.
To me all this political wrangling smacks of desperation on the part of North Korea (were these tests even real?) who maybe feel (and possibly rightly so) somewhat bullied by certain other countries. Agreed the US (or the UK for that matter) shouldn’t be the worlds police force, but I for one would sleep a little easier with less nuclear weapons in the world, rather than more.

I’m actually with Korea on this one, why should the US have the right to say who does and who doesnt have Nukes?
pretty much the US are saying “stop your nuclear policy” to everyone while they continue theres. Iraq anyone? will the same thing happening with N Korea?
North Korea have said that they will discontinue there Nuclear program if US does the same, what was the US response? No.
US are taking a very hypocritical stance on this.

I’m sorry Mark, but I’m with America on this, whatever you think of them. You can’t have unstable governments holding onto weapons like this. It might look like bullying but the world is sorted with everybody knowing where they stand. So you can’t have somebody developing nuclear capability for no good reason.
