Just be glad you weren't around in the early 80's when Regan almost had us in a nuclear frenzy with Russia. It was pretty bad and then more of a threat. That's mainly when majority of our nuclear bombs were built. I don't know what's up with this Korean nuc testing but just know that Korean did the testing without the UN consent during a time countries are trying to refrane from building them. Nuc bombs were the worst thing we could have ever devoloped. The use them would severly damage if not destroy the worlds environment as we know it, but seriously don't frent over it. I really believe God would never allow man to destroy ourselves in this manner! I think Korea was just trying show some muscle but don't mean a thing with no one backing them. Let's keep it real, we have more technology then they do and weapons that would destroy anything they attempted to launch our way. So don't worry yourself to death over it.

The Atomic bomb was developed and used as a means to bring an end to world war 2. Right or wrong, the point is that our enemies were working on it too and had they developed it first, you would be speaking German or Japanese and you and I would not be talking to each other in the Internet right now, because we would not have these rights or freedoms we take for granted. After World war 2, we realized that Russia and "Stalin" were next in line to try to take over Europe and the world. That's when the nuclear arms race began and developed into what is known as M.A.D. (Mutually assured destruction), which means that both the USA and Russia understood that with all the nuclear weapons pointing at each other, that a nuclear war would result in total destruction of this planet. With that in mind, it was understood the importance of maintaining that finger off the red buttons. It's a scary world out there. Thank goodness for butterfly's and children who don't understand why this world is like it is.

First of all, the reason most of the WORLD, not just our president, has a problem with Jong is because he has shown that he has EVERY INTENTION of killing as many people as possible. That means you, me, and other nice things.
President Bush is trying to find a way to resolve the situation with Korea PEACEFULLY.
The US was the first country to develop nuclear technology, and yes, we were the only country to drop atomic bombs. But, we did it to END a war, not to start a war.
The Cold War showed that the US is not willing to risk that again, unless there's no other choice.
We HAVE to have the most bombs. There are other countries out there whose leaders aren't as nice as the ones we elect who would bomb us in a second if they knew there would be no consequence.
Sounds to me like you've got a lot of growing up to do, and you don't really know that much about this stuff.

Only human beings can create and destroy using mind power. This is part of universal creative game and only human earthlings are capable of understanding and paticipating in it. We humans seek knowledge and destroy ignorance. Although we seek clarity and definition in all things we see and experience in the external world as well as subcreate many instruments in support of human comfort and betterment of human life we are still really unclear about the ultimate definition and purpose of all human existence. Since this general ignorance is always looming large over human minds this 'unclear' definition of self has ,however, succeeded in developing 'nuclear' bombs as part of an ultimate programme to destroy all ignorance once and for all at a future dawning of True Wisdom.

Korean girls are dying from starvation, not bombs. Ask their leader why people are straving to death and he lives like a king and disregards the rest of the world.

wow, I cant believe Im wasting my time on you. George Bush is not the problem. Kim Jung ill is the one who has nuclear weapons. He is who you should be afraid of. America has missile defense mechanisms, and tactical warheads. Not nuclear weapons.
