N. Korea Declares War

As we all know N. Korea has claimed to be testing nuclear weapons of mass destruction. They claim to have tested two smaller nuclear bombs. They crashed on bomb in the China Sea near Japan after a "small" problem. China and Japan both felt threatened along with the USA. United States set a very tough sanctions on N. Korea. N. Korea then threatened to test a hydrogen bomb which would be much larger of an explosion than another bomb they have tested yet.

In response to the sanctions set on N. Korea their government and N. Korean leader Kin Yong Nam stated, "Sanctions are nonsense. If full-scale sanctions take place, we will regard it as a declaration of war,"..."The more they press us, the stronger our response will be."

North Korean official also warned that the sanctions would be considered and act of war.

In response to the declaration of war, south Korea checked its readiness of nuclear war. Followed soon after by a shake felt across Asia as reports of a second nuclear test being performed by N. Korea.

This story is still developing every day, check yahoo.com and search North Korea under news for the most recent update. What concerns me about the test and the declaration of possible war is that America isn't out of reach or touch. Now would be a great time to be testing our missile systems and our readiness of our troops protecting the homeland. If a nuclear bomb were to hit in America it would be unimaginably horrific. What has caused North Korea to get so defensive towards Japan, China and USA? Should we maybe not step in as a country and let N. Korea do their own harmless testing on their own grounds? We did? Why can't they?
