Big trouble in East Asia

OK, first of all, please read this article. OK, now does anyone see a problem with the fact that we have declared North Korea part of the "Axis of Evil", yet China is an ally of theirs and we have no problem with China? Gee, I wonder if that's because we want to sell shit to China since they have potentially the biggest consumer market in the world. Wow, could it be that money really is the root of all evil?

Here is my favorite portion of this article:

"North Korea's nuclear program is well ahead of what Saddam Hussein was even suspected of doing — yet the president took his eye off the ball, wrongly ignoring this growing danger," Kerry said in a statement. "What is unfolding in North Korea is exactly the kind of disaster that it is an American president's solemn duty to prevent.''

South Korean news agency Yonhap reported yesterday that a mushroom cloud more than three kilometres across rose early Thursday after a mammoth blast stronger than an April explosion that killed 160 people and injured an estimated 1,300 at a North Korean railway station when a train carrying oil and chemicals hit power lines.

The crater left was visible by satellite but the South Koreans recorded no seismic activity that would accompany an A-bomb test. The South Korean presidential office told Yonhap, "We don't think North Korea conducted a nuclear test."

China, a North Korea ally, had no immediate comment.

Really?

Thanks, very nice of you.

First, check my

Amazon.com wishlist

and there's no need to worry that I already have it or won't use it.

Tip: Check around for better pricing. Amazon's pricing is usually good, but not always the best available.

A quick Froogle search can't hurt.
