I’ve been wondering for some time now why W has been playing down the issues of North Korean nuclear capabilities, especially considering how unstable and aggressive North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il is. Granted, there has been a lot of North Korean propaganda and rhetoric, but the region is way too volatile to simply blow off. CNN reports on the latest, and perhaps scariest, entry in North Korea’s “verbal barrage,” one that just maybe W should listen to: “Victory in a nuclear conflict will be ours and the red flag of army-first politics will flutter ever more vigorously…Our victory is certain and the future ever more radiant.”
