I think it's very possible. Personally a little concerned but we'll have to see how it plays out. Maybe it's just a plot to jack up oil and gas prices again? Then again, it may have been all his movies falling off his shelf.

I believe it and further more I believe Kim Jong-il is insane. I mean literally insane, something just isn't right about him.

Then Bush pulls Iran into this with his comments about the test this morning. So more to go down in the middle east now?

I really don't know how to put all my political thoughts and feelings down in writing. I can say that my gut is telling me that something really bad is about to happen.

As with all despots (Hitler, Mao, Idi Amin, Napoleon, Stalin, etc) they develop this paranoia that their enemies, both internal and external, are swirling around them and it causes bizarre behavior and policies. Here is just the latest machination of that sad group. The real bummer is that his weaponry far exceeds most of the others.

North Korea has used many things over the years just to get more money or other advantage for themselves. This may just be one of those political positions to get something they need. What worries me is if we let them develop Nuclear weapons then there is no doubt in my mind they would use them as a political barganing platform and they are crazy enough to actually follow thru if other Nations failed to give them what they asked for. This needs to be put to a stop ASAP. Nuclear weapons are not, in my opinion, an efficient weapon of war. After Nuk'ng someone there is nothing left for you to have, and it will take 20-30 years of half-life decay before it is relatively safe . This does not factor in fall-out or a multitude of other things associated with a nuclear blast. We learned some good lesons with the Hydrogen Bomb dropped on Japan and this was nothing compared to today's Nuclear weapons. Ok now I will get off the Box

Since my first exposer, in the late 60's/early 70's, I have believed in the concept of the tri-lateral commitee. I don't believe, in context, anything I hear/see over the commercial press avenues. The real story is much more simple. Money/power rules. Geo/political stuff is just for show. Just mho.
