N Korea claims first ever N-test
by Abhinav on Oct 09, 2006 03:00 PM

The test is not much of a surprise. US has bullied N Korea enough and considering what happened in Iraq, the actions of N Korea is rather expected. Would US have attacked Iraq if it had nukes? Certainly not. Why should nukes be priveledge of West powers only? Is it some sort of "Divine Rights of West"? Left to itself, N Korea would not have taken any such action.
The nukes are a dangerous weapon, especially in the hands of nations like N Korea, Iran. But matter should have been handled by UN and not US. The double standards followed by US in regards to its foreign policies are leading world to a disaster. That N Korea has been helped by Pakistan and China is beyond any one's doubt. But US has turned a blind eye to this and now is shouting that N Korea is a rogue nation. Going by what happened in Iraq and Afghanistan, US is the current rogue nation in the world.
US has no right to shout over N Korea. It can not escape what it did in Japan. If it wants to take a moral right and set an example, it should destroy all its nukes and then come to table for discussion. The tests have atleast prevented any American adventure in NK and an all Korean war.
