Let's bomb North Korea...
I've got a great idea... let's bomb North Korea. Not only will this destroy their nuclear capacity, but it will mean that we can forget for a moment about that nightmare that is Iraq and Afghanistan AND, if we bomb them now, they won't be able to nuke the West. Sure, they might send a few missiles South Korea's way, but well, that doesn't matter does it? The West can be happy in the knowledge that one less country has nuclear capabilities (only we are allowed those), and once they have been stripped of their defence, the US (oops, I mean the coalition of the willing) can go in to liberate and give democracy to those poor North Koreans and the whole world will be a happier and safer place.
You disagree? But this article makes it sound like such a great idea...

quotation: "Perhaps learning to live with nuclear power, in all its forms, will be the great challenge of the 21st century."
Yeah, just learn to live with it. There are too many other things you have to face, so why spend one's mental energy on nuclear issues, in the context of weapons as well as energy?
Thanx for linking the article, Lucy.
Have a nice weekend. greetings, A.
Supposing... We invent some decoy doomsday scenarios - a vaguely related article, this time for some light entertainment.
My major thought is -- what seriously good thing did I ever do to deserve a niece whose cynicism and opinions match mine so well??!!
Well done, Lu.
Remember people, the world needs more cynics.
Another option would be that five old nuclear weapons launch some of their arsenal in the direction of the new ones...the world could start its history from a new clear page.
And do it immediately, as seeing some interns desperately searching for a job, i would be very happy to have avoided this pain.
Are we now smelling flowers and searching for a coffin be around?

Talking about history, for the British among us this might be interesting:

Dear Auntie Fred,
Nice to see you back on Bloggery. I hope your hols were splendiforous. For us to both have such cynical minds is only natural - great minds think alike and all that jazz :)
Dear Marie (and Andy),
Thanks for the link. I am looking forward to making my contribution on the blog tomorrow. Plus I think it is very cool that two Germans informed me of the website! How did you guys come across it?!
