Is it me, or is the world getting more scary since Barry took office? Barry is a "Photo-Op" Prez, no one is afraid of him..... Except the banks and car companys

Wait - it's MORE scary now that N. Korea claims to have exploded a nuclear weapon, which they also claimed to have done under the previous administration? How is the knowledge that they now still have what we knew they had years ago making things MORE scary?

The one tested during the Bush Administration was pretty much a dud, and didn't produce much energy. The latest was estimated through seismic readings at 20 kilotons, about the same as the Hiroshima bomb.
Although the Russians and Chinese are still calling for talks with North Korea, they may be getting a little nervious about such a wild-card state.
BBC has a good article on the international response.

So, is setting off nuclear bombs in defiance of international law and UN resolutions more like taking your pistol to the shooting range to see how well it works, or more like bandishing it in the middle of a crowded shopping mall yelling "You lookin' at me?"

OK, wait - I'm not clear about this...
Are we following UN resolutions these days, or not? It's so hard to keep track. One day we're railing AGAINST the UN, calling for it to be abolished - or at the very least, for the U.S. to get out of it - and the next we're saying that every other nation (the operative word being "other") should do as the UN says.
Seems we should either let the UN run things, or we shouldn't bitch about it when those OTHER nations decide THEY don't want the UN telling them how to live, either.

In other words, you won't answer the question.
It should come to no surprise that no one will care about the UN Resolutions, since obviously no one cared about them in 2003. It took two nations acting pretty much independently to do enforce resolutions that the UN should have been enforcing, because no one else cared. North Korea knows this.
Nihil est incertius vulgo, nihil obscurius voluntate hominum, nihil fallacius ratione tota comitiorum.

I bet the N Korea midgit's not on the No Fly No Buy List.
After all, Cheney sold him the nukes.

Or is that your answer? That UN Resolutions are useless because no one else cares? If so, why bitch about North Korea flipping the bird at the UN?
Oh, and I thought we were all about that whole "coalition of the willing" bullshit. Are you now saying that that was a sham? You state that two nations "independently" did it, because no one else cared. Have you forgotten Poland? You forgot Poland!
