And a nuke is a little bit different than iron. Iron does not have the potential to end the world. You guys are overlooking the fact that the leader of North Korea is freaking crazy!

At that time, the Chinese feared the North Koreans would figure out how to make iron. Because with Iron, North Koreans could start slaugthering thousands of people and wage wars all across North East Asia. Surprisingly, they did very little of that despite their iron-making knowhow. Instead, they used it for defense against attacks by China. I also compared the willingness of South Koreans to form alliances with foreigners then and now. I wrote a piece of opinion at the Korea times that was published here:

All the same, if the report is accurate...they should be a bit more considerate about the way they operate their bases, and the way they discipline their men in South Korea. Doesn't help to get the people of the nation you need as a garrison and a buffer state mad at you, after all.

That was a sarcastic remark. Anyway, there is something else happening in Korea that is more important than the nuke test: See: "AS WORLD attention is drawn to North Korea's missile launches and nuclear program, many South Koreans are attuned to a threat much closer to home. They have watched a group of rice farmers in the small village of Daechuri near the city of Pyongtaek attempt to defend themselves against invasion by the US military." http://www.boston.com/news/globe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2006/10/08/a_us_invasion_of_korea/ Alright.

Why do North Koreans hate the US? The US is so far away from NK. The closest naval base is in Hawaii. It is so hard for the US to attack them. Until the US start stationing troops in South Korea or Japan, the North Koreans have nothing to fear from the US. We are a peace loving country. I’m still stratching my head.
