We now have a nuclear North Korea
North Korea claims to have conducted a nuclear weapons test. This is presently being disputed. Most believe the North Koreans tried to set off a nuke but it somewhat fizzled out. But you know what, it doesn't matter whether they succeeded or not. The reason is that the very attempt and desire for the North Koreans to possess nuclear weapons poses a serious threat to the world community.
The U.S. has proposed a strong resolution - go us. Russia and China don't want us to be too harsh. ...
... yeah, that's what I thought too.
"Earlier Thursday, China expressed regret that a draft resolution circulated by the U.S. focused on punitive measures without providing incentives to draw Pyongyang back to the negotiating table. North Korea should understand it had made a mistake, but "punishment should not be the purpose" of any U.N. response, said Liu Jianchao, a spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry in Beijing."

Sometimes you've gotta wonder what other nations and other peoples are thinking. I mean, a nuclear North Korea cannot be good for anyone (unless you just want to see the U.S. and her allies destroyed at any cost). In the meantime, I am so thankful to God that we have the current administration in power. Why? Because the only thing they are consistently strong in is national defense. President Bush, Condi, and the rest of the administration genuinely cares about the well-being of our country's security.
Were our Lord not sovereign I would have reason to fret.

Yeah, isn't that fun.
Well, we are in the end times, as we have been since Christ acended into heaven. Maybe the world will end tomorrow. Maybe not, be ready.
And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."
Matthew 28:18-20
It may not yet be the end of the age, but our job isn't done!
When I heard that the nuke test was a fizzer, I had to laugh. My conclusion was that the North Koreans had detonated conventional explosives underground to scare the 'American bully'. It worked, the US got into a flap real quick, and by doing so fed the delusional nature of a madman. The response should have been a total non-response - though I did enjoy the Team America clip a local tv NEWS segment played to show how much of a loon kim is sick really was.
In a world where its relatively cheap to buy nukes from starving Russian navy personnel, why spend billions to make them? It was all show, there is no threat, the sky is not falling down.
