Korea made its second test of a nuclear explosive on Monday and declared it was more destructive than the first, an advance that is likely to embolden Kim Jong Il's regime in rebuffing calls by the U.S. and others to halt its weapons program.
The country also launched three short-range missiles, including one from the same site from which it fired a long-range missile over Japan and into the Pacific Ocean seven weeks ago.
It never quite starts where you expect it to.
Right now, it seems Iran is the focus of the Obama administration's nuclear worries.
East wind, rain.
TOKYO (Reuters) - A Japanese ruling party panel is to propose that pre-emptive strikes against enemy bases be allowed despite the country's pacifist constitution, Kyodo news agency said on Monday, weeks after a North Korean missile launch.
In 1941, the Roosevelt administration expected, that if war broke out, the Japanese would attack the Philipines first.
People don't always do what you expect them to.
Oh, and happy Memorial Day to all.
