North Korea ‘dream’ video shows
In what appears to be a provocative PR stunt, a bizarre video uploaded to YouTube by North Korea over the weekend shows a dream sequence that includes a U.S. city resembling New York under an apparent missile attack. The video, produced by North Korea's official website, Uriminzokkiri, begins with a young man imagining himself aboard a North Korean space shuttle that circles the earth, pausing to zoom in on a unified Korea. The soundtrack to the three-and-a-half-minute video is an instrumental version of "We Are the World," the 1985 single written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, and recorded by a celebrity supergroup, with proceeds going to African aid. Near the end of the dream sequence, the imagined U.S. city—including what appears to be the Empire State Building—is shown in flames. "Somewhere in the United States, black clouds of smoke are billowing," reads a caption, translated by The Guardian. "It seems that the nest of wickedness is ablaze." When reached by Yahoo News, U.S. National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor declined to comment. The video arrives just days after North Korea threatened to retaliate against the U.S. for what it called a double standard stemming from a recent rocket launch by South Korea, which the U.S. said had no military intent. In December, the U.S. claimed a North Korean rocket launch was a test of banned ballistic missile technology, and the United Nations Security Council announced sanctions. On Saturday, a North Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman did not elaborate on the threatened retaliation. But according to the Associated Press, Pyongyang recently threatened to conduct its third nuclear test in response to what it calls U.S. hostility. On Tuesday, South Korea U.N. Ambassador Kim Sook said a North Korean nuclear test was "imminent." |

I saw the video which was removed from here by the user on the CNN news
last night. This is - A Sick Joke.
It was stupid to remove Nuke bombs from Korea under the agreement
with N. Korea - Joint Declaration of the Denucleazation of the Korean
Peninsula in Feb. 1992. It was during the period of Rho Tae-woo Admi
nistration(1988-1993).
No one should trust North Korea whatever they say.
But we did many times over and over again. Are we
born stupid? And now, see what they do!
Solution of this crisis for Korean government?
1) Development of Nuke Bombs and Missiles as many as possible and as soon
as possible for self defense and deterrance, and 2) Investigation of previous
Korean governments whether they funnelled money to North Korea, knowin
gly or unknowingly - and if they are found guilty, punish them as harshly as
possible under the law - they are Betrayers of the Country(yeuk-jeok).

U.S.A. shouldn't just brush this off.
Never underestimate the small guy.
We should learn from the past history.
Exactly the same thing happen with Bin Laden.
They thought of him nothing more than a small guerilla group.
But see what he had done. We are still suffering from him even today.
Try not to wait until the day when Seoul gets hit with a nuclear bomb.
Do something before.
No laughing matter though.
See what happened at 911. We just thought it was nothing but one crazy man.
Something has to be done as soon as possible
before something much worse than 911 happens.
Crazy people can do anything at any time.
And they have the nuclear bombs and rockets to carry them.
No laughing matter...
