Seems they have "redicovered" their unicorn lair in North Korea. ...On par with all the other natural phenomena emerging from that country.

In hindsight, given what a human tragedy as well as security threat North Korea has been for decades, it seems like we should have fought the war until it was finished, if victory was possible. However, I don't know how much more it would have taken to win the war. I shudder to think about what...

Over here in Korea, there are many, many different types of fortune tellers. I even discovered that phrenology is still very much alive here, with practitioners wandering the streets offering their services to the gullible (they of course have a very different "head map" than traditional...

Was watching Fox and Friends First Edition this am while getting dressed (Lauren Green is hothothot, plus she's a classical pianist) and they had an item about North Korea's Kim Jong Il apparently apologizing to the Chinese foreign minister for their nuke test. Someone on the program remarked...

Are these guys nuts or what? Guardian Fox Google it all you want.

North Korea announces nuclear test (Filed: 03/10/2006) http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2006/10/03/ukorea.xml Maybe they will just blow themselves up like they did with their last missile test.

http://upi.com/NewsTrack/view.php?StoryID=20060902-082144-1563r I have no idea why little Kim has his little-girl panties in a bunch. It's not like it's a reliable system yet. Heck, it's even an impossible system, if you believe the critics. We just got lucky with one hit, and that was...

Is Mr. Sanger simply a paparatzy on this one? Who is pushing this issue? Is there really any news here? If indeed the US is considering a different approach, why can't the White House simply say what the National Security Council recommended and reveal that approach? This is, of course...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4804018.stm Can you believe the sac on this guy? Enjoying recreational time while he is supposed to be doing his job of running a country? The unmitigated nerve! I can hear the pundits now "Ping Gate".

Of course, I expect it isn't going to be very straightforward making sure they stick to their promise. http://www.theage.com.au/news/north-korea/pyongyang-pledges-to-end-nuclear-program/2005/09/19/1126981994009.html

I call this one B.S. snip: http://sg.news.yahoo.com/050720/1/3tm49.html Forgetting the poor (very poor) reporting and lack of detail, this is bunk. I know (or am given to believe) NK is working on a bomb but this doesn't do much to convince me that they have one yet. For example, suppose...

Various news agencies report this morning that N. Korea "possibly" fired a short-range missile into the sea of Japan this morning. "Possibly?" You can't tell me that we havn't got a whole fistfull of intelligence "assets" watching the whole country like a hawk. Naughty words too, calling Bush...

Well? Why not. What kind of example are we setting? Who do we think we are? Or, has the United Nations voted us in to be the world's guardian? if that has ben the case, then my question is answered. if *not*, then it goes unanswered.

This is an attempt to have one meeting place for a couple of questions that have been scattered all over several threads. I've been trying unsuccessfully to get some of the most prominent critics of the Iraq war to answer a couple of questions: 1) We pretty much all agree that Saddam Hussein...
