North Korea: why bother with a test?

I have to confess, American confused me at times. People have the right to self defence, but nations do not?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Still the hypocrisy shows through.

So the nut has The Bomb. And now he's got everybody's attention. Which is what his country needs.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

They are trying to blackmail the world into giving them stuff and I don't think that saying we have nukes and lots of guns pointed at the south is the best way to go about getting what you want.

Just like the USA and its allies blackmail the world into letting them keep WMD and nobody else.

Because it works for the Son Of A Bush.

Most amazing jew boots

I don't think Bush should be excused for his behaviour just because America is generally a good country.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
