Well, technically they've "only" tested nuclear weapons so far, they haven't used it against another country. And to attack North Korea at this point wouldn't be very smart, imo. I think what the resolution shows is that although China and Russia condemn North Korea's nuclear bomb testing they do not want to appear as being in US leading-strings. I also think this is a first step. The resolution and Bolton's statement are telling us that if North Korea doesn't do the right things in a near future, the UN will produce more aggressive resolutions and/or USA will probably act on their own, even if I think it's pretty unlikely that close US allies like Japan and South Korea will approve of military campaigns in their area with a nieghbouring nuclear weapon dictatorship involved. I heard earlier today, I think it was, that North Korea wants to pick up the six-nation talk again. I mean, they (he) are (is) acting erratic and irrational most of the time but sometime even the most hardheaded dictator must realize that the number of friends is rapidly increasing.

They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.
