Nuclear bomb test 'just a day away'
By Leo Lewis

Neighbours hold urgent talks as North Korea's leader says that blast must not rock sacred peak too much

Preparations to detonate a bomb at a 2,000 metre-deep abandoned coalmine close to the Chinese border have reportedly been completed, enabling North Korea to go ahead with the controversial test as the leaders of Japan and China hold urgent talks at a summit in Beijing.

Kim Jong Il, the North Korean leader who celebrates 19 years as head of his country’s Workers’ Party tomorrow, is reported to have given orders that the test should “not excessively rock” Mount Paetku, a nearby peak considered sacred by many Koreans.

I'm fond of the term "not excessively rock” it's a fuckin' nuke. it could be a million miles from your sacred mountain, but the enviromental impact will effect it eventually.

Evidently even some of the North Koreans have some thing to be worried about.

Shit, even in North Carolina, people have something to be worried about. but our current admin, keeps us so focused on "the war on terror" that we do not even realize the rest of the world hates us too.
