Yawn. Who really cares? North korea is NOT likely to fire a nuclear missile at the US or ANYONE because it knows if it did it would be wiped out. Its all posturing because the US will not have direct dialogue with them. Same as Iran. Iran would NOT nuke Israel or anyone else for the same reason. Logic dictates that and everyone knows it. The other day an Iranian delegation was in New York for talks with the UN. Did anyone from the US talk to them? No. The US, it seems, cant talk directly to people on issues, they have to posture, threaten, etc through the press, or other secondhand venues of communication. What is wrong with talking to someone directly. So let N. korea waste money if they want to. Who really cares? They not likely to really attack anyone. Attack Australia? They probably dont even know where we are, lol. every time Downer rings them up they probably have to use an Atlas to see where we are. But, hey, at least WE can talk to them direct. There are only 2 countries who would use nuclear weapons: Israel and the US. Pure sensationalism and krap.
