What with the note on which the talks in Beijing ended up should not be such a surprise. 30 miles to the border with a cemplete nut holding finger on his purportedly functional A bomb. BTW, I don't believe they have a functional weapon, and if they do, it's more dirty than powerful, like the Pakistani quasi-nukes; same source. This situation, until it is resolved, may put quite a damper on the jpn and s. korean markets...
