Big surprise, huh?

I saw a documentary on the satellite civilization channel about N.Korea, outlining the society and human right abuses.

Among other things, there were actual BILLBOARDS which read in translation "We will defeat the US with nuclear bombs."

Just food for thought.

Turning down any proposals is just part of the strategy, IMO. NKorea is buying time for their nuclear weapons program and (from their point of view) helping john-john win the election by proving that the Bush Administration foreign policy is flawed.
