Comments on: N. Korea Preparing For Another Nuke Test?

U.S. Intelligence Suggests North Koreans Might Test Again

Bluster, hot air, and chest thumping will only serve to further obscure the nub of the issue here: Think how the Bush crew loudly touted its success with taming Libya, a former terrorist state. How did they accomplish this? By sitting down one on one with the Libyans.
To the TV generation adrenaline junkies out there who have have as deep an understanding of this issue as the electronic image on their screens, put a sock in it and try engaging your mind and heart for a change.

I agree with you. However, if you want to talk global economics.....if we spread our business from China to other countries a lot more countries would benefit and their economies would get better. China should NOT be a MONOPOLY when it comes to PRODUCT----or anything else for that matter. They can not be trusted---THEY HAVE PROVEN THAT MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is a good one folks!! A one Ktn warhead is realitivly small as Nuclear warheads go -- smaller than the ones that we dropped on Japan. Most countries first attempt is around a 15 Ktn. Now it is possible that this was a fizzle -- but I just learned an interesting fact over the weekend. Keep in mind that i have not personally researched this so you all may want to look into it yourselves. I found out that a one Ktn explosion is what is used as a trigger for an H-Bomb. They may be testing a trigger rather than a warehead. If you know anything about nuclear weopens you realize that the H-Bomb is hundreds of times more powerful than a simple A-Bomb. The source that i learned this from pointed out that NK was propably behind the developement of the warheads that Pakastan posses. They have the know how and the technology to build such a device. The small size of this test may have a more sinister slant to it than we realize. Again this is not something I know for sure -- but you can bet I am researching it further!!!

Put economic pressure on China. They have gotten a taste of free enterprise and like it. If we stop buying or stop our companies from buying and/or manufacturing over there, they may start to listen. Its time to think of America and to hell with the global economics.

how many times do you have to stick your finger in the socket before YOU learn.. I don't know about you, but it only took me ONCE

[laurieleemoo]

what makes you think going back to the table will work this time----we have already been there, we have already had an agreement with Kim Jung Mentally Il----HE BROKE THE AGREEMENT. What exactly is it that makes you think he would keep his agreement now----even if we did go back to the table and work something out!!!???????????????????????????????

The situation in North Korea is disintegrating because of the self-serving policies of the NK government and has now reached the point of being intolerable, even by their standards. So, the NK government has decided that they want the American taxpayer to bail tem out and prop them up. In order to achieve this, they are threatening us. Bail us out or we'll develop nuclear weapons. Bail us out our we'll develop an ICBM. Bail us out or it wil be an act of war. This is not the sole responsibility of the U.S. and therefore, the six party talks are the best way to proceed. If this proves ultimately to be unsatisfactory to NK, then we fight them.

Now---if there were a whole bunch a people out there like me----we could deal with this N. Korean issue. And don't even try to use the word can't with me. I was raised to operate under the assumption that I CAN----and the word can't isnt even in my vocabulary when it comes to doing something i put my mind to. So, just try and stop me----I am on a mission to make sure that as many people as possible stop buyinh the Chinese Product.

[laurieleemoo]

no one can change these business men's ways, huh........how about this----they better start putting their orders in to the other countries and are dying to compete with China.....They can not very well sell their Chinese products if we aren't buying----now can they! I don't give a *** if they want to try to sell them to me---I won't be buying and no one can FORCE me to buy chinese products.

You seem to care about United States,but I feel very sad to say that some rich Billionares in our country are so selfish that they don't care about United States or the people at all.Only thing they care about is money which is never and will never be enough for them.The American buisnesses are the ones who have been transfered to China as they don't have to pay too much money on labor like they have to in USA.Nobody can change the mind of these businessmen period.In our society where a wife divorces her husband for making money on the name of alimony an child support and a husband kills her wife for making money on the name of Life Insurance,if we think for the sake of our lives these buisness people will be satisfied on lesser profits,we are doing nothing but fooling oursleves.

[laurieleemoo]

i would say that is the least we can do for our children---don't you? The other thing you can do is SPREAD THE WORD---DON'T BUY CHINA'S PRODUCTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[laurieleemoo]

if you are not the type of person to do volunteer work or give to charity---there is one simple thing you can do to leave your good works behind on this earth---and that would be TO STOP BUYING CHINA'S PRODUCTS. If you do this one simple little thing---you can say you did your part in trying to stop nuclear weapons from spreading uncontrollable throughout the world

[laurieleemoo]

ellygumera-----the CHINESE government has already PROVEN that they can not be trusted. They have tried to undermine the United Nations in every step of the way in trying to sanction N. Korea. This half hearted attempt---after they already stated they would not be enforcing the sanctions by not inspecting the cargo----well CHINA DOES NOT FOOL ME FOR ONE MINUTE. If they were truly on board they would not have fought the United Nations EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.
i am sick and tired of the american people trying to blame our government for this. This problem could have EASILY have been solved from the getgo by CHINA. CHINA can be the only country to take SOLE RESPONSIBLITY for N. Korea obtaining Nuclear weapons. Now they will sell them to the terrorits. If we want to blame anyone in AMERICA for this ----WE SHOULD BLAME OURSELVES----THE AMERICAN PEOPLE----after all, WE are the ones who buy CHINA'S PRODUCTS. Our children and our grandchildren's future now depends on us NOT BUYING CHINA'S PRODUCTS. Now, that China has allowed the North to get nukes---well its only a matter of time before, south korea, japan want them.....China has caused a domino effect and now our children's futures will be about nuclear wars. everytime we buy chinas products we have a hand in the destruction of our children and grandchildren's futures.

Practically,do you think all this will stop North Korea from selling her nukes to OSAMA BIN LADEN.This is an UNCONVENTIONAL WAR ERA.The way we used to conduct war and diplomacy during WWII won't work now as we have seen in Iraq and Afghanistan.It's none of chinese business if North Korea sells her Nukes to OSAMA BIN LADEN,why should and would they care.Believe it or not,North Korea is the best ally of China and whatever she has done is with the full consent and help of China.Because of diplomacy,China herself can't threat United States so has given the FRONT LINE role to North Korea.We Americans need to take care of our safety in our own hands.In this dangerous world,relying on any country like China may result in a big disaster in the form of NUCLEAR ATTACK against us by the NUKES sold to OBL by North Korea.

Chinese inspection of cargoes going into its neighbor, looks very promising. This government may not publicly acknowlege that they will abide by the UN resolution, but their actions speak louder than words.

Indeed, this UN resolution proves that when the world is united in its action - no nation can remain defiant, good job Amb. John Bolton!
