Just recently North Korea decided to test live nuclear weapons in their communist country. As far as Im concerned, these nuclear tests are a DIRECT threat to the entire Asian-Pacific region where I live. Guam is approximately 2,000 miles away from Korea, but from my point of view, thats 2,000 miles too close to our island.

In the past we have had smog travel all the way from China and reach our beaches. The smell and yellowish tint could be seen for miles. The smell would persist until the winds picked up and blew them past us. With that said, what makes you think that radiation from these nuclear tests cannot reach us? What makes you think it won’t contaminate the water many of of our Asian neighbors rely on for fishing? I may be overreacting, but I think North Korea is probrably the most serious threat to the world right now. I think they are more of a threat than Saddam or Osama. Nuclear weapons are some serious sh*t. The U.S. should be focusing on this threat instead of sending more money to fight the useless middle eastern war.

North Korea’s attitude toward the tests also has really disturbed me. Why do they need to base nuclear testing on U.S. policy towards their country? Do they realize that nukes can end our world in a heartbeat? When your key allies (China) tell you that what you are doing is wrong, shouldn’t you get the hint? China themselves mentioned that North Korea should not take any actions that my escalate tensions among the nations of the world.

Bottomline is President Bush needs to get his head out of his ass, pull the troops out of Iraq, and focus on the real threat to the world. I do not believe that the world should take North Korea’s threat lightly. They have already mentioned that they would test agaian.

They are a threat to all humanity.
