North Korea is at it again!

It seems like the conquest for nuclear weapons is at an all time high for countries around the globe. Just as it seems like the United States and rest of the civilized world makes a giant step of progress with Pakistan another country jumps into the limelight. The country that has stepped back into mainstream news is not one we are unfamiliar with. In fact, it’s an all too familiar nemesis……Kim Jong-ilKim Jong-il and North Korea.

It seemed too good to be true that North Korea was keeping a low profile, however maybe this was because they were too busy reprocessing thousands of spent fuel rods, which are used to hold plutonium and power nuclear reactors. North Korea is stock piling some 8,000 of these rods to bring back up their nuclear factories. Why the naive soul asks? Well, to produce nuclear weapons and officially put North Korea on the same platform with the likes of the United States, Russia, China, France and Great Britain of course.

North Korea’s government claims that their sole purpose on this Earth is the security and sovereignty of its people, however the world powers can see right through this smoke screen of BS and lies. If Kim Jong-iI and North Korea can produce a nuclear weapon or at least make the rest of the world believe they are close; it gives this neglected nation extreme bargaining power on the economic and military fronts. Despite this persistence in nuclear development, North Korea publically announced Monday that they would like to hold direct talks with the United States and hammer out their differences in a peaceful manner! What I would give to be a fly on the wall during that meeting!
