"The World Is Collapsing Around Our Ears..."

By the time some of you wake up and read what happened in the world today, you are going to find it a different place than when you last paid attention to it. Not in a pleasant way, either.

I was watching Fox News, when they broke the fairly scary news that North Korea successfully tested a nuclear bomb. This happened last night, around 10:00pm central time.

I don't think this really comes as a surprise to anyone, does it? However, this is a big problem. The world is now a much more unsafe place to live in. Again, my fears are not so much for me, but what of the world my unborn son is going to have to face?

Kim Jung Il has made no bones about it. He wants to unite all of Korea under his Communist regime. He's run incursions into South Korea for years. I hate to be alarmist, but I get the feeling North Korea will invade fairly soon. I hope not.

So what does the United States do? For one, we'll have to prepare to fight the Korean War Part Deux. We're committed there, and have been for over 50 years now. No turning back at this stage in the game.

Forget China. They could have probably stopped this crap years ago, but they never did. Why? Because North Korea draws an incredible amount of attention away from the evil that is China. As long as we're paying attention to North Korea, we won't worry about China. And I think it unlikely that China will back up North Korea if they decide to invade. There's too much China now has to worry about on the world stage these days.

I have the feeling that we will be giving Japan whatever they want as far as nuclear missiles and other assorted radioactive goodies. It just makes sense. North Korea will probably take South Korea first, and then worry about Japan. However, I suppose they could try and strike Japan first, take out what U.S. bases are there, and then take South Korea. Who can predict what a madman will do?

Giving nukes to South Korea would probably not be a good idea. In all likelihood, we wouldn't want to give more technology that could possibly fall into the hands of the Communists. Japan would probably be able to defend itself a bit better.

By the way, if one has an urge to blame somebody for this mess, look no further than the fat, smiling face of Slick Willie Clinton. On his watch, he allowed nuclear technology to be sold from the U.S. to North Korea. However, North Korea PROMISED they wouldn't try and develop atomic weapons, if they could only be allowed to turn the lights on across their poor nation. After all, it was for the children.

We see how well that one turned out. Thanks, Bill.
