    • Lessons from North Korea for Middle East

      Posted by Damianmann from Arab News

      Our world would be so dull without its delicious ironies and ever fascinating double standards. Who could have ever thought that having condemned North Korea as part of the "Axis of evil" - the other two being Iran and Iraq of course - in September 2001, Bush would rush his top diplomats to welcome "Dear Leader" Kim Jong-il to the fold of civilized world.

      N. Korea agrees to disarmament

      Posted by Jeff from MSNBC

      It's going to be interesting to see if this is actually a Bush diplomacy first and a solid step forward or whether Kim Jong Il is just yanking the Bush Administration along on a wild goose chase knowing its popularity is at a low around the world.

    • U.N. Council imposes harsh sanctions on N. Korea

      Posted by Billbar from Reuters

      The U.N. Security Council voted unanimously on Saturday to impose financial and arms sanctions on North Korea to punish the reclusive Communist nation for its nuclear weapon test on Monday. The U.S.-drafted resolution allows nations to stop cargo going to and from North Korea to check for weapons of mass destruction or related supplies. It requires all countries to prevent the sale or transfer of materials related to Pyongyang's unconventional weapons programs. And the resolution demands nations freeze funds overseas of people or businesses connected with North Korea's nuclear and ballistic missile programs.

    This all begs the real question: Did our satellites detect gamma radiation from the blast? That’s how we did this during the Cold War.

    The bomb-grade plutonium that was on ice from 1994 to 2002 is now actual bombs.

    “Chest-thumping followed by failure followed by cover-up and denial.” Yeah, that’s the GOP approach in everything from cleaning up corruption in Washington to terrorism.
