Question

Answer 1

nope......

Answer 2

The World community is against them doing this. As this is a powerful weapon that effects the World, then it is up to the World to come to diplomatic agreements on the "Justification" of these weapons. This is why the "Six Party Talks" are so important.

The USA doesn't have too much to worry about directly for the next few years (except 4 maybe the sales). However other countries like: Japan, S. Korea, China, Vietnam, India, and Russia are directly effected NOW. Should the N. Korea's testing not consider seismic plates, and other geographical variances, well an Earth quack could trigger another tsunami. Since the USA is one of the major nuclear bomb producers, we do have duties to join in with the others in the World community.

Answer 3

It’s wrong in the sense that Kim Jong Il didn’t honor an agreement, the nuclear-weapons-free peninsula, Korean Peninsula, so by performing a nuclear test he's not only doing injustice to America, he'd be doing injustice to China, as well. You also must keep in mind that China has a lot of influence over North Korea, some ways more than America does.

But it’s all just mixed messages. The six party talks or the five nation coalition that's sending Kim Jong Il that clear message, get rid of your nuclear programs if you want to be apart of the world nations. It is all mixed for America had inspectors and television cameras in the nuclear reactor in North Korea. Secretary Bill Perry negotiated that under President Clinton. And America knew where the fuel rods were. And America knew the limits on their nuclear power.

Colin Powell, announced one day that American were going to continue the dialog of working with the North Koreans. The president reversed it publicly while the president of South Korea was here.

Big mistake for the president of South Korea went back to South Korea bewildered and embarrassed because it went against his policy. And for two years, this administration didn't talk at all to North Korea.

While they didn't talk at all, the fuel rods came out, the inspectors were kicked out, the television cameras were kicked out. And today, there are four to seven nuclear weapons in the hands of North Korea.

That all happened on this president's watch and it still is happening on the president's watch.

paaatches --While North Korea may have had success with this test, they might not have developed nuclear material in a "weaponized" manner.

Answer 4

Whatever N. Korea does is immaterial. If Kim Iljong has his nuclear toys, he cannot use them without committing suicide. The only danger is allowing stateless organizations to obtain them. But even that could bring forth a retaliation that would send the survivors back to the stone age and render the blast zones unlivable. With precision targeting and rapid communications, only offending nations would be involved. It is not a weapon anyone would use except through insanity, because no one escapes the retribution. A policy known as MAD. Sooner or later some one somewhere is going to try it and then everyone will see how stupid it was.

Answer 5

• NO

...in my opinion, North Korea should devote all that wasted time and money to help itself come up from the economic misery they currently live in.

A recent journalistic report that aired on PBS showed the true condition of the country. Their economy is a joke. People truly live in hell there. Some may have even opted toward cannibalism. And the sad part is that the North Korean public is really clueless of their crazy leaders plans.

The government's(N.K) attempt to show otherwise is just plain sad. I'm glad the UN's Security Council is finally doing something about it. Lots of people talk trash about the U.S, but they don't trully realize how good we have it here, or how good the rest of the world has it because of their intervention in forein affairs.

Answer 6

I read quite an interesting article in Newsweek reckoning that N Korea was forced into reacting due to the US using strong arm tactics by freezing all bank accounts. Now that was a little provocative of the US don´t you think. Unfortunately we live in the world where the super power is the US maybe in a couple of decades with a new super power like China history will say they were justified.

Answer 7

Since they are not a part of the nuclear non-proliferation pact, they are justified; however, I don't think it is a good Idea for them to have nuclear weapons because their leader is a "nutcase." I just don't think we can do anything about it because we have over-extended ourselves in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Answer 8

No. Why North Korea only? No one else including USA.

Answer 9

well being an american and knowing that we in america have a lot of these wonderful pissy blowy upy thingys I think that yes, they have a right to have them too. we can't say that it's not ok for everyone else to have these and then have them ourselves. I don't however think that they should be testing them really.... but I'm not really sure about that one.

Answer 10

Answer 11

Opinions are divided:- they think they are, the rest of the World disagrees
