#1 Washington wants a coordinated response among its allies to any such test, officials said.

Sounds like a TOT drill.

#3 That's one of the problems with underground nuclear tests--the ''secondaries''. In this case, I wonder if that grandstand all of a sudden gets caught in one such secondary, incinerating all attending.

#4 At the same time, the United States does not want to play into North Korea's presumed desire to create a crisis that then becomes grounds for demanding economic and diplomatic concessions from Washington.

Just what kind of crisis would be grounds for ''demanding economic and diplomatic concessions''? And who's to say that the U.S. would give in to such demands?

#6 After reading this article, this first thing that popped into my mind was, ''Wouldn't it be convenient if somehow this whole thing literally blew up in NKOR's face?'' A horrible nuclear accident occurring in a country attempting to acquire such weapons could be a powerful deterent for others...especially since it seems that no amount of cajoling or incentives has seemed to work to date.
