I’ve been reading/hearing somewhere that N. Korea has now taken their testing underground. I have no idea how they is any way safer than putting it no the surface because now every single bit of resource that needs to be extracted from the ground has the potential to be affected. *sigh* Good on you for speaking out on this. We need more people to do the same.

ei, where’d the comment i made earlier? btw, my latest post might be of interest to you. hehe :D

ive heard that news on CNN.. and it bothers me at the same time scares me..
eventhough they tested it underground,. it still can harm living creatures staying underground..for me, they just want to prove that they are more powerful than anyother countries..but in reality, nobody wins here!

have anice day! takecare!!

Um, yeah. That is a little too close to your home. Like yourself, I’ve been reading the news sifting through trying to see what’s up with N. Korea and Bush. The first thing that came into my mind with Bush was “Oh sh$t, there goes Bush again trying to pick a fight with another coutry”.

A couple of weeks ago, I was channel surfing (a rare thing these days) and I saw president Jimmy Carter speak about diplomacy. Here is the transcript. He was able to have successfull peace talks with N. Korea in 1994. Too bad Bush won’t do the same thing. But then again, Bush is no Jimmy Carter.

But here’s a tiny excerpt just in case you don’t have time to read the transcript:

North Korea, suspected of building nukes, international talks not working, the United States pushing sanctions. North Korea warns that could mean war. The year, 1994 — 12 years ago in June. Jimmy Carter went to North Korea on a personal peacemaking mission. President Clinton had big concerns about the trip, so did South Korea.

Carter met Kim Il Song. They talked. Carter announced a deal including a freeze on North Korea’s nuclear program. Critic called him gullible, naive, and worse. But the deal held, despite Kim Il Song’s sudden death. Official diplomacy produced in a grave framework in October of ‘94. It fell apart in 2002.

President Bush has called North Korea part of the axis of evil, and North Korea has turned its nuclear facilities back on
