Iran says today's reported North Korean nuclear test should be blamed on -- the United States. Iranian state radio says, "North Korea's nuclear test was a reaction to America's threats and humiliation."
It says the threat of sanctions only increased the diplomatic pressure on North Korea. Iran accuses Washington of what it calls "double standards" in its nuclear policy because it does not seek sanctions against India -- which has tested a nuclear weapon -- and Israel -- which is believed to posses some. Iran also has a suggestion to the United Nations about a possible response -- saying it should not punish North Korea -- but instead disarm the nuclear arsenals of larger nations. http://www.foxnews.com/...
North Korea's first detonation of a nuclear weapon may have taken place during the watch of George W. Bush -- but it was under the Clinton administration's watch that the communist regime began gathering necessary materials and constructing the bomb. http://www.newsmax.com/...
A timeline on nuclear weapons development in North Korea:
1993: North Korea shocks world by saying it will quit Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, later suspends its withdrawal. ...... http://www.iht.com/...
Jan. 29, 2002: Bush labels North Korea, Iran and Iraq an "axis of evil."
Jan. 10, 2003: North Korea says it will withdraw from Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.
April 24, 2003: North Korea says it has nuclear weapons and may test, export or use them depending on U.S. actions, Washington says.
Feb. 10, 2005: North Korea announces it has nuclear weapons.
Sept. 15, 2005: U.S. blacklists a Macau-based bank for alleged involvement in North Korea's illicit activity such as money laundering and counterfeiting, leads the bank to freeze North Korean assets.
Sept. 26: North Korea rejects further talks on its nuclear program, claims Washington wants to rule the world.
Oct. 3: North Korea says it will conduct a nuclear test in the face of what it claimed was "the U.S. extreme threat of a nuclear war."
Oct. 9: North Koreas says it has conducted its first-ever nuclear test. http://www.iht.com/...
You know, in light of the fact that Bush's Bullying, my way or the highway tactics are standard fare I for one have to agree with Iran.
With the world and the U.S. calling for increased sanctions and popular consensus estimating the explosion to be from .5 to 1 kiloton and the U.S. still saying they can't verify if it was a nuke http://msnbc.msn.com/...
I have to ask, iI it possible that this could have been another type of explosion?
Anyway you look at it, it once again gives Bush the facade of Diplomacy while forcing him to have to further prosecute his new world order. Too convenient for me. What do you think?

You are right about people with power getting what they want. The thing that hurts is Bush doesn't deserve it, shouldn't have it, and will to the demise of us and the world, abuse it whenever possible in order to prosecute his idea of new world order.
