Nuclear Proliferation in North Korea...

Two weeks ago, North Korea conducted a nuclear test. Since then, much controversy has surrounded this issue. North Korea has been suspected of having a nuclear program since the 1990's. However, on October 9, 2006 the US was informed by China that North Korea had conducted a nuclear test. I think there is a lot of confusion about this current event. Many people don't know the background of North Korea's leader, Kim Jong-il, who is in my opinion the source of this problem. To get some information on Kim Jong-il, I went to Wikipedia.org. Apparently, people have a lot of different opinions on him because the site had been locked because of "recent vandalism". I feel he is a serious threat to not only the world, but his own people. He has been described as a Stalin-like leader who can be "cruel and unpredictable". It is also rumored that he has a collection of 20,000+ video tapes, is a big fan of the NBA, and often wears lifts in his shoes since he is a mere 5' 3''. He reportedly eats lobster with silver chopsticks and has a collection of Bianchi bicycles for viewing only. The main problem with his personal life is that he is living in grandeur while his people are suffering daily. He does not care about ruling in a "good" manner. He is a power-hungry, egotistical, some may say crazy leader. Because he has disregarded his own nations opinions, wants, and needs, we must fear for the world. North Korea should not be preforming nuclear tests, because quite frankly, their leader is a nutcase.
