Swine flu is just flu. Flu kills people. It probably won't kill you, but it might. |

I have no problem with NK testing a nuke, provided they do it in their gov't building... |

You really have to wonder if NK is really going to risk going to war being China probably would not let them go that far.  |

Sorry to disagree with your statement, but I know and believe it's false.
When's Kim Jong-il, the evil NORK dictator going to croke? Well it doesn't really matter as both China and Russia are behind North Korea and have used it as their rook for quite some time while the individual Koreans on both sides have been pawns in the big scheme of things. Back in the 1950's when the North invaded the South, Russia (and possibly China too) were behind the North so the Americans intervened to play it out as a conflict between Russia and America using the Korean peninsula as a chess board. Korea has always been the little guy between a rock and a hard place since ancient times as both China and Japan invaded it many times. Don't think they won't again. I'd say for today for the time being, we have nothing to worry about, but in the future, sh*t will hit the fan once again as it has many times before. Problem is today's technology destroys the Earth and it's ability to sustain life such as if and when the missiles fly.
Worried about oink flu? Not yet. It still can possibly fizzle out as it's not like thousands of people are dropping off like flies, but appears to be another manufactured fear factor. Only time will tell. Do be aware and concerned that bio terrorism is possible with today's bio tech possibilities in that new and highly destructive microbiological lifeforms can be created by genetically altering something as innocent as a common flu virus or other type of virus. I'm not saying swine flu is manufactured, but it appears to be possible to manufacture a highly destructive virus. Let's hope no mad scientists are working behind closed doors. |

While you have the right to your opinion and I do agree with the historical time line that you posted, I would have to disagree about the China not letting NK go to war. One thing you forgot to mention was the US owes, what I believe to be billions of dollars to China. If China wants to collect ( which is difficult when a war is going on) the money owed to them, they will do everything in their power to make sure NK does not go to war against the US.  |
