A flurry of warlike statements from Pyongyang has prompted speculation that a launch could happen on 15 April, when the country marks the 101st birthday of the nation's founder and former leader, Kim Il-sung. Any further restrictions of aid to NK shall only hurt the already abused populace, not the idiotic regime of Fatkim. Let us all pray that the 15th passes without any real idiocy shown.

I suspect that Kim Jong is revelling in all this centre stage attention that he is getting. He isn't going to do anything silly for he knows he will be wiped out. If he's mad enough to try something stupid then wait for the NK press release, "Kim Jong Dead".....shot by his senior Generals.

But if he fires a missle over the mainland of Japan, And they shoot it down. Who knows what is going to hit the fan. I can only hope that the radar computer doing the tracking is real damn fast on what the trajectory is. If Japan for an instant thinks it will impact, I expect they will release a rapid and devastating response. [/quote] Old James |

The dang thing having an engine or guidence failure in flight so it ends up on a path to impact Japan when the intended flight path was past Japan. Kim is crazy enough to attempt to launch one over Japan. Big time dangerous game considering the success rate they seem to have. All it takes is one part failing and he'll get his war. |

I am just happy Kerry went to China, and the two countries are talking. I want China and the US to be on the same page, and that can only happen through dialog. Steve Warning, addicted to SETI crunching! Crunching as a member of GPU Users Group. GPUUG Website |

In the gulf war in the 90's we let Saddam stay in power and had to go back a decade later . In wwII the brits signed a treaty with Adolf and well .....! .Sitting back worried that things will get bad if we take fatkim out now sound like a very dangerous thing to do ! It is going to get ugly what ever we do but the more we wait the badder it will get and the more time he has to make cosy with rogue contry's like Iran or cosy with the Backstabbers Pakistan then it won't be bad it will turn into End of Days stuff and I think both China and the U.S need to remember that we are not that far from the oil running out 3-15 yrs depending on whom's report you read and that alone is going to make things ugly Get fatkim now and show the nutters that the world will no longer tolerate rogue states and be done with him Waiting will only play in his favour |

I think that NK will collapse at some point, and it would seem better to control that fall now with diplomacy than later with war. It is only a matter of time. War is not a good option. China may hold the key to collapsing the NK government, but in a controlled fashion. Steve Warning, addicted to SETI crunching! Crunching as a member of GPU Users Group. GPUUG Website |

I'm probably going to get blasted for this in one way or another but...... It will take a bigger international threat than lil' ole N. Korea to bring all nations under one government. The only problem is that threat would have to be from an entity outside our planet and if and when that threat appears we are all toast.

The BBC were quite wrong to "use" the LSE in that way and possibly put innocent students at risk, and quite rightly should be publicly rebuked, and if necessary fined. But the resulting programme is still valid nevertheless, and given the current tensions in the Korean peninsular, it should be aired. All sounds like some extremely junior level paper pusher said okay and the bosses didn't find out until later. |

I could yet be proved wrong, but I believe that Kim has played the game better than daddy ever did. Kim has managed to scare the crap out of the entire world. Think about it. How many millions if not billions of dollars have the allies spent scrambling to defend all of southeast Asia from a nuclear attack? All he had to do was shoot his mouth off while holding a birthday party for his grandfather. Hell, he even held a marathon race. Not too shabby for the rookie. Now, the big question is whether the kid is smart enough to see that enough is enough. Join the PACK! |

That's a very dangerous game to play. Play it too much & the "Big Boys" will soon get fed up of any & all "tinpot" nations holding the world to ransom & someone's finger will slip.... |
