    The horrific prophecy and nightmare regarding a dangerous nuclear North Korea was published in an excellent "fictional" account in the year 2000 in the book "The Consultant" by Alec Donzi. Seems like it's coming to pass as North Korea is going ahead with the test launch of an intercontinental missile.

    If only the US stopped provoking N.Korea , as it has been doing for decades now, that would certainly be the solution.Anyway, why can't N. Korea have nukes, the more so as it is regularly threatened, when The US, the UK, Russia, France, China, Israel, India, and Pakistan do ?Everyone knows where from the real danger comes, when speaking of nukes.

      Thank you for your comprehensive insights on the subject. You should apply to work for the State Department, you genius, you.

    China is the only entity in this game with real power to end this foolishness. However, methinks they like have a naughty neighbor in the north who makes them look good.

    Japan and China need to work together to help solve this problem with North Korea. So instead of 6 parties lets make this 3 parties talk. Whatever the outcome, the other 3 parties (USA, S Korea, and Russia) should accept and support. For their efforts, Japan and China's work should appreciated and respected by all.

    The man in the picture looks to be a look-a-like of Kim Jong Il. look closely at his face and the side of his head, it's not the real Kim Jong Il.
