North Korea Tests Bomb

So it's all over the news at the moment, it just came up in the Australian Parliament during question time, the rumors are true North Korea has the bomb.

At the moment there is some alledged expert talking on the BBC saying N. Korea is merely flexing its muscles in some sort of attempt to dissuade the US from invading. Something that just crossed my mind, and keeping in your mind that it is mid afternoon at my location, how could this be a surprise, in under 12 hours time the United Nations is expected to vote a South Korean Foreign Minister to become the next UN Sec-Gen.

N. Korea along with Iran and everyone's favourite President Hugo Chavez always remind me of the pain in the neck family member who will do anything to obtain the attention that is being diverted towards another sibling! However, it's only me that's saying that...

Aussie PM John Howard said the following in Parliament when asked for information by the leader of the opposition...

"In those circumstances I would condemn, and I would assume I would have the unanimous agreement of the House in doing so, the test in the strongest possible terms."This issue represents a great challenge to the United Nations," he said.

"If the United Nations is to come up to scratch on this issue ... It will win great respect and an enhanced reputation, but if the United Nations fails to act effectively against this outrage from North Korea it will represent a further diminution of its authority."
