#1 Economic sanctions? Ha ha ha ha! I wish them luck.

As I see it, there's no way this won't get ugly in some fashion as long as "Dear Leader" is calling the shots in the North.

This is a very tricky issue for the South Koreans -- they don't really want to be downwind of the potential fallout when the North starts flaunting nuclear-tipped missiles. Be it by mushroom clouds or "dirty bombs" (NK supplies the radioactives, outsiders supply the bombs), South Koreans are well advised to start making civil defense preparations.

That said, I want to add that I don't see this as a job for GWB anytime soon. Let the locals stew in it and sell them whatever weapons they want.

#2 Doesn't Kim Jong-Il know that the only ones who can legitimately declare something "null and void" at the UN are the French?
I guess he can forget about that Champs-Elysee shopping trip with Bob Mugabe if he keeps that up.....
