North Korea Performs Nuclear Test

[Flagg]

Someone here believes that North Korea has the right to develop and maintain a nuclear arsenal. Why? Is it because a FEW other countries have it?

Let's see.

A nuke is a weapon... a gun is a weapon.

I have a gun. Does this mean everybody has the right to have a gun? Of course not. Obviously, people with criminal records or mental incapacities cannot own or carry a gun. Only responsible citizens may carry a gun.

Does North Korea have a criminal record?

Let us say that we refuse to believe the Western news organizations due to our paranoid nature (of course, conveniently forgetting that the Internet we are using now IS a creature of the West).

Ask the simple question: Who started the Korean war? By the way, this war is still officially ongoing. There is a signed armistice... meaning a temporary cessation of hostilities. There is no peace treaty.

Shall we now construe this to be responsible civic behavior?

Am I therefore, pakialamero if I report to my favorite policeman somebody with a wild & wooly haircut brandishing a gun?

In other words, is the US at fault for urging UN Security Council sanctions on a country, which has initiated and is still at war, for becoming illegally nuclear-capable?

Finally, from a most pragmatic viewpoint. What is there in North Korea that the US would want to pakialam with anyway? In Iraq there is oil. In North Korea there is... what? Groovy-haired dictators is all I can think of.
