A third nuclear test is tentatively planned by DPRK, for somewhere between September 20 & October 10, 2009:

The DPRK leaders are idiots. With them trying to build a nuclear arsenal AND selling thier technology to other dubious places, they are going to be invaded soon. Bywho is pretty obvious. Thier is no other choice and it will be good to get rid of a regime that executes people for using cell phones, lets thier people starve to death (like 10 % of the population or even more), and turns most of thier country into a prison.
I personally get sick and tired of hearing about thier dirty tricks like unleashing a torrent of water into south korea, the stuff they do at panmunjeon and much more.

No they are not. Countries tend not to invade other countries that have a nuclear arsenal.

North Korea only has one or two small bombs at the most right now. I don't think that they should be allowed to develop more. Actually North Korea could be taken out very quickly before they develop more weapons.

I don't know if you know the history behind the north, but that regime is not even supposed to be there anyway, it is there because of help from Stalin and Mao. Korea was supposed to be unified after world war II, after american and soviet troops occupying it left; AND it was supposed to have free elections. Stalin stabbed the Korean people in the back. The country is essentially a prison except for the regime lackies that live in Pyeongyang. The current situation is not the fault of the USA and the US should put an end to the regime.

Really? The latest news reports I've read on it had them at 6-10 atom bombs. But even 1-2 could do tremendous damage if dropped in the South.

Except neither China or Russia would tolerate that. It's too near their borders for one thing.

October 12 2009:

(AP) � 37 minutes ago

SEOUL, South Korea � North Korea fired five short-range missiles off its east coast on Monday, a news report said, even as South Korea proposed working-level talks with its communist neighbor.

Yonhap news agency, citing an unidentified South Korean government official, said the North test-fired the missiles on Monday afternoon from its eastern coastal launch pad.

Yonhap said the North has issued a no-sail zone in an area off the east coast Oct. 10-20 � an apparent indication it was planning missile tests.

Calls to the South Korean Defense Ministry seeking comment on the report were not immediately answered Monday.

Earlier Monday, South Korea proposed working-level officials of the two sides meet Wednesday discuss how to prevent floods in the Imjin River running through their heavily armed border. The South also proposed a separate meeting of Red Cross officials on Friday to discuss reunions of families separated by the 1950-53 Korean War.

However, Unification Ministry spokesman Chun Hae-sung said that Seoul had no plan to resume high-level dialogue with the North.

Pyonyang has recently reached out to Seoul, easing months of tension over the North's nuclear and missile programs.
