Could we all stay on the topic at hand, please? Ta.

This development was front-page-news in the World News sections of the newspapers down here; it's been strangely absent from US-based news broadcasts, though. Peace is a boring topic for some demographics.

North Korea's too small and isolated to engage in any 'world domination', nuclear weapons or no. Furthering a WMD program just puts them at greater risk of being annihilated by the countries that had WMDs before them, who - of course - have the innate right to judge who's allowed to possess similar weapons.

North Korea's abandonment of its n-weapons programme can be seen as a simple act of self-preservation, especially with global superpowers threatening to invade the country unless they comply. Kim Jong-Il is certainly a weirdo, but even a weirdo knows how not to get his country wiped out.
