I will admit to wondering how long YOU lived in DPRK, Mr. Dave Brubeck.
I swear, westerners/americans who have never lived in the third world, much less the orwellian world of DPRK, really are clueless when judging a country modeled on 1984.
I just threw up in my mouth,thanks Dave. Let me ask you a question: Did the U.S. over react when we took out 3 Somali pirates. Did we overkill?
Brubeck, ignorance must be bliss.
I feel North Korea has every right to have nuclear weapons as long the USA and other countries have them. As long as The USA continues it;s war of terror other countries have a very real need to protect themselves from hostile countries such as the USA.
Keep in mind only one country has ever used nuclear weapons to kill people and that was not Korea.
