strange and uncertain days ahead...
so, now north korea finally announced that they have successfully conducted a nuclear test and how do i feel? not exactly elation but certainly not unhappy either.

why should anybody fear north korea anymore than the US for having nuclear bombs? after all the only country that ever dropped nuclear bombs on human beings is the US. if truth be told, my other wish is for north korea to have missiles that are long range enough to hit anywhere in the world (and let it be with pin point accuracy if you please, thanks)...

am i crazy? don't think so.... i don't think north korea is mad enough to start thinking of exploding WMD like so much of firecrakers ..in fact if there is any chance of anybody hitting anybody it would be the US or the israelis conducting pre emptive strikes on other potential nuclear sites , in iran may be (a bit too late for north korea now , the only country in the unholy trinity of axis of evil countries that today officially become an unwelcome member of nuclear power states)...

ah...i hear shouts of danger of nuclear proliferation as other neighbouring countries will now start thinking of having their own toys too...japan, south korea, middle east countries...and oh heavens...things will certainly get out of hands...we'll get dirty bombs soon...and oh dear, soon al qaeda will get their hands on the bombs too!...in short this is the standard thinking of people with cnn as their default setting in their brains...

but think carefully...why is it acceptable for the US and other countries including israel (that don't even sign non proliferation treaty) to have the bombs and others not? when i posed this question to one of my american collegues his answer is " do you trust a crazy guy like ahmadinejad to have his hands on nuclear bombs?" my answer to this is that " can we trust that idiot bush not to use it when push comes to shove?"..but i did not say this to him, but that's a real possibility as they have done it before.

US alone can blow the whole world ten times over with it's nuclear arsenals, another country having a few bombs will not make a difference in term of world safety in this sense, if anything it'll even the playing field a bit...we should all have the bombs ar we should all scrap them... as simple as that...and while we are at it we should also scrap land mines and in fact all weapons...

why do we have to fight? why have humans not progressed in term of their territoriality behaviour and belligerency towards each other since the first humanoid walk on two feet?
i've told many people that the reasons why the big imperialists (read the US and it's lapdog tony blair's UK) are so hated is because they use their might to subject others to their whims and to top it up they gloss this over as so much benign succour to the less fortunates of the world and impose their views as the sole acceptable moral standard of the world...

if the US really want to be liked the easiest way is for them to bomb the likes of afghanistan and iraq with bread instead of fire...and they could easily do this too...US is a very rich country....
