US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice with Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Aso
Ms Rice will also hold talks in South Korea, China and Russia -
The United States has warned that it will back - its allies with the full range of its military - capability against any threat from North Korea.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said everyone should know that the US would act fully on its defence treaty obligations to Japan and South Korea.
Note. China - the closest country North Korea has - to an ally - has appealed to Pyongyang not to escalate tensions - still further, urging it to resolve the issue - "through dialogue and consultation" -
But the North is showing no signs of backing down - in the face of international pressure.
On Tuesday, state media dubbed - the new UN sanctions against it - a "declaration of war" -
The Nation has learned that the Bush Administration and the Pentagon have issued orders for a major "strike group" of ships, including the nuclear aircraft carrier Eisenhower as well as a cruiser, destroyer, frigate, submarine escort and supply ship, to head for the Persian Gulf, just off Iran's western coast -
btw. history tells me - ex. the German mark - in WWI and WWII went down twice - to a billion mark for a loaf of bread - wars are very costly - and not good for any currency -
