North Korea Conducts More Missile Tests


Ah yes ! Here we have another legacy from Bill Clinton's presidency . In reaction to S.Korea's firm stance on N.Korea's dismantling of its nuclear weapons program , N.Korea has responded by conducting more missile tests . If you remember last year N.Korea did this to get economic aid in exchange for a promise to commence shutting down their nuclear reactor that was being used to make weapons grade plutonium . The deal to get the nuclear reactor was brokered by none other than former U.S. President Jimmy Carter with the blessing of the Clinton Administration . What amazes me is that no one at the time saw the insanity of doing this . The two Korea's have existed in a state of war for over fifty years now , another by product of that wonderful organization the United Nations . Now you want to sell a nuclear reactor to a rogue , belligerent regime in the belief that they'll use it with peaceful intent . At last report N.Korea has over 100,000 artillery pieces aimed at Seoul , and then Carter helps them become a nuclear power . And what amazes me most is that Jimmy Carter got a Nobel Peace Prize for it ! Now over Ten years later people are shocked to find N.Korea vigorously pursuing a nuclear weapons program , and improving their missile technology . I know hindsight is 20/20 , but give me a break people Forrest Gump could have seen this one coming .
