According to North Korean officials, the big underground blast that occurred Sunday night was a successful nuclear test.  U.S. and other allies have yet to confirm this test to be in fact nuclear.  Only 30 minutes after this blast went off, the U.N. Security Council went into an emergency session to decide what is to be done with North Korea.

President Bush called this action "a threat to international peace and security."  As of present, there was no talk of military action even though this can be considered acts of war.

Right now the U.N. is trying to resolve this with sanctions.  The only problem with sanctioning North Korea is that North Korea has been under sanctions for years now.  Sanctions are nothing they are not already used to.  I wish there was other ways to solve this, but I am beginning to feel that bombs are the only way for this to stop.

Senate Minority Leader, Harry Reid (D-NV) said it best when he said that this administration is too much involved in Iraq to know what else is going on around them especially in North Korea.  Senator Harry Reid is suggesting that this administration could have done something to prevent North Korea from going nuclear.  I think he has a point, but what exactly could they have done.

I hope and pray that the U.N. can resolve this solution without the U.S. having to go to war with North Korea.  It is very scary to know that this sick and twisted leader, Kim Jong-Il, is capable of using nuclear weapons.  This needs to be taken seriously by the international committee just like it is now, and not stop taking it seriously until this stops.
