Angry N Korea quits nuclear talks
Source: BBC News

North Korea has vowed to walk out on international talks to end its nuclear programme, and said it would restore its disabled nuclear reactor.

The unusually strong statement follows criticism by the UN Security Council of its recent rocket launch, which critics say was a long-range missile test.

North Korea says its launch was part of a peaceful space programme, designed to put a satellite into orbit.

Pyongyang described the UN statement as an "unbearable insult".

2. Kim Jong-il seems intent on having the United States conduct a military strike on his country
I sure hope President Obama does NOT oblige him.

5. They are looking
for an excuse to bomb/invade South Korea. They want unification, at the expense of the south koreans. Besides, there are a lot of people that have escaped the north that Kim wants back.
Saw a great documentary on National Geographic about North Korea. Really opened my eyes of what goes on there. I say let them starve.

3. They must be out of food
Sounds like it is about time for us to send them some "humanitarian" aide, so that they can go ahead with their plans, while laughing publicly at us. Hell it has worked for the last 20 years hasn't it.

6. NK has a window of opportunity. I'm somewhat surprised they haven't seized it and invaded.

7. I imagine many South Koreans worry about the Dear Leader
doing for them what he's done for the North Korean people. That's a disturbing thought.
