North Korea announces nuclear test.
Only a few months after the series of missile tests, NK raises the bar. Neighbouring countries, who have mostly put in place economic sanctions after the missile testing, are understandably nervous. The announcement alone resulted in the Yen declining today.
North Korea said the test would bolster its national security in the face of US military hostility. What has been fascinating to me is that the only country North Korea tends to react to is the US, regardless of what the other countries in the region do. and smallish bear thinks he has problems with his neighbours...

black peopledefending the world from terrorism but instead wants control of oil and a refashioned Middle East? Isn't North Korea a prime example of how they (the Bush administration) don't mean what they say, and are by definition hypocrites and liars? That they went to war at least prematurely and under false pretenses? If I was Toby Keith, I'd be writing such a kickass jingoistic anthem right now . . .SaddamOsama offered his fighters to attack Iraq
