Deal Me In, Boys
Kim Jong Il....the guy cracks me up. Crazy,yes....Nuts, probably....Egomaniac, yes...dangerous, most definitely. That man is determined to be a major player on the world stage. I have mentioned this more than once. The AP reports today:
"As we declared, our strong revolutionary might put in place all measures to counter possible U.S. pre-emptive strike," the spokesman said, according to the Korean Central News Agency. "Pre-emptive strike is not the monopoly of the United States."
Given the fact that the U.S. called North Korea one of the three members of the "Axis of Evil", invaded one of them to supposedly destroy their WMD and is making noises about the other, it makes perfect sense that Kim would want nukes to protect himself from the U.S. In addition I am sure he figures that if the U.S. is breaking the Nuclear Non-Profliferation Treaty when it suits its purposes, well then, he should have the same right.
The man wants to be a major player. He wants to play poker with the big boys in the region. I sense the only way that will happen is if he has his weapons and occasionally threatens to use them.
