NK's nuclear test is yet another retreat of America's global dominance. This is an ominous sign that a rogue regime with a closed society can produce Nukes arguing in terms of self-defense. All due to a failed American policy that has clearly alienated most of the world's populations against its imperialism. While I strongly condemn Nuclear development, I think it has become necessary. Specially with GWB giving the ill-advised speech of the "axis of evil", NK feels that it is subeject to attack and thus has created Nukes in desperation. While US can attack any nations while its self-interest is at stake, other nations have the right to defend thus creating the clash. The day atom bomb was developed, we had signed a treaty of destruction and now it is evidently clear that we are entering that now.
