UN Secretary-General Deeply Concerned by North Korea Nuclear Test

(NEW YORK) - The following statement was issued Monday by the spokesman for UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan: "The Secretary-General is deeply concerned by the news that the Government of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has conducted a nuclear test, in spite of repeated worldwide efforts to discourage it from doing so. This action violates international norms of disarmament and non-proliferation, as well as the current international moratorium on nuclear testing. It aggravates regional tensions in and around the Korean peninsula, and jeopardizes security both in the region and beyond. The Secretary-General calls on all parties to respond to this grave challenge in a constructive manner, and calls for serious negotiations to be renewed urgently in the framework of the six-party talks. The Secretary-General views this test as yet another reason for the international community to renew its collective effort to bring the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty into force and to make progress towards multilateral nuclear disarmament."

You are on target anonymous. One slight correction, there were more people killed in Dresden from the fire storm raids on the nights of February 13th and 14th 1945 then Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined. Hamburg also suffered a raid that wiped the city off of the face of the map. People talk about Holocaust, when the British came into Hamburg they confiscated footage of the phosphorus bomb raids from the German fire departments so that the world would not see what they had done. The atom bomb is a mere firecracker compared to a hydrogen bomb. What North Korea is doing (if it is true) is child's play. We are the biggest threat to world security, not Korea with their underground firecrackers. I have so many pictures of Dresden after the bombing from David Irving's book "The Destruction of Dresden". 135,000 people died in two nights, civilians, refugees, innocents. The city burned for 7 days and 8 nights. Hurricane force winds of fire with tornadoes of fire sweeping through the city sucking everything into the center of the fire. 773 British Lancaster bombers, 650,000 incendiary bombs on a city with no military targets. All because of the God D*** Treaty of Versailles from WWI, written by the allies. The Treaty was so oppressive to Germany, they had to fight back. Most people who signed it were reluctant to because they knew the Germans are fighters and something bad would come. That bad was fascism from 1933-1945. Maybe one day we will be liberated from the fascism under the present regime. We have to liberate ourselves first before we talk about liberating others. We do not even have honest elections in this country, so do not call it a democracy.

Fact: The only country to fear with the nukes is the US....they were the first to use them to destroy millions of innocents...they'll do it again under the directives of the Zionist Statesmen. The world shgould be very afraid of the US...it's a loose canon.

We then used the ultimate weapon. Not once, but twice to completely destroy two Japanese cities. Indiscriminately killing the elderly, women and children. The result was the end of a long horrible war and the saving of at least as many lives as were lost in those fleeting seconds in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. The use of the nuclear bomb is still debated, condemned and justified to this day. The result was the same as Dresden but at much lower cost, one plane, one bomb. One city destroyed and hundreds of thousands of people killed in seconds.

Regardless of the justifications for the use of America's WMDs the fact remains, only one country has been a leader in developing, manufacturing, selling and using the weapons. That country is the U.S.A.

Ok, ok, ok....we can have all the nukes, WMD's so on and so forth, but other countries can't because only the US can be.....idiots...there's a much deeper ploy.

What does he get out of being "Deeply Concerned." He can take his concern and shove it where the sun don't shine and his crooked son too.
