Often times, when treaties are objectionable, a leader will diplomatically express his grievance or will send envoys to the problem nation...or will host a Televised Press Conference to air the dirty laundry for the world to see and smell. However, when that leader happens to be Kim Jong Il...he just tests a Nuclear Weapon in flagrant violation of every tenet of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.
Tonight at 10:55 EST...the Monday Morning break of dawn in North Korea, witnessed a new day in the World Political Spectrum's shifting sands. Still unconfirmed by those who wish it weren't true, the fact is North Korea has tested its nuclear capabilities today in a seeming direct retaliation to the United States not submitting to direct talks.
After holding the world hostage since July 4th of this year when it tested 7 missiles that turned out to be duds, the North Korean Government has decided to take a stand against what it has termed United States aggression. After months of attempted UN negotiations and six party talks in which incentives were offered by the world community and shunned by the North Korean Regime...North Korea has defied all and announced to the world that a new Pirate has the will and might to defy the international consensus against its Nuclear Weapons Program.
No doubt, this move will embolden Iran's Ahmadinejad's move toward Nuclear power and will also light new hopes for Chavez in Venezuela.
This country, who the United States has technically been at war with since the establishment of the DMZ in the mid Fifties, when the first US stalemate was declared in a war with an enemy. The logic of that decision has now been proven wanting. Stalemate is never an answer when dealing with a regime that has proven itself as an enemy of Peace.
And while this development will no doubt lead to a military engagement and some type of response from the likes of Japan, South Korea and China as well as the United States...the fallout will most likely, luckily take the mindset of the nation away from the Possible Pedophelia of Foley in Congress back to the real problems of the world, which are - PIRATES, who are attempting to hold the world hostage with Terror.
North Korea has announced that the test has occurred. The seismic community has been gagged to give the diplomatic realm a chance to negotiate... In fact, the world is about to have the wool pulled over its eyes. Our Peacenik media is about to pretend this test never happened.
Good Luck, America.
God Bless.
