The World Is Waiting On The New North Korean President By: tishbite | - The world has been watching and wondering whether or not North Korean President Kim Jung un would stick to the hard line political policies of his deceased father.

This allows him to maintain his devilish control even from the grave.

The United States Won"€™t Accept North Korean Nuclear Concessions By: tishbite | - North Korea drastically needs money so any concessions that they make are designed to get the US to the bargaining table where they can exchange something for US financial aid. If we look at things in this context we will see that any offer that they make will be superficial and wont actually do a thing.

War - What Is It Good For? - Absolutely Everything By: Howard Jacobs | - Of course war is horrible. People say that war is to be avoided at all costs and it should always be a last resort. All other options must be completely exhausted before a country should consider sending troops (people) to fight and kill. War as an absolute last resort seems to make perfect sense.

North Korea's Slight Of Hand By: Dana Smith | - North Korea for many today is a country that is not known very well. Even among many in the Humanitarian field, getting help to people in this distant country is difficult. We know so little about it, yet we know it is a dangerous country. How do we know this?

After all if they are a dangerous country, a missle heading towards Alaska is not a very long way to travel.
