N Korea 'won't stop nuclear plan'

A senior North Korean official has said the North does not intend
to abandon its nuclear programme when it returns to talks on the
subject, reports say.

Deputy foreign minister Kang Sok-ju said the North had not tested
a nuclear weapon last month to then get rid of them, according
to Japanese media.

North Korea recently agreed to return to stalled multi-national talks,
which could resume next month.

Japan had said Pyongyang must renounce its nuclear plans before
talks restart.

3. Gotta love the N. Koreans and their "Fuck you!" attitude.

Especially when that "Fuck you!" attitude is directed at a nation (alliance of nations, to be precise) that could turn the N. Korean part of the peninsula into a giant glass parking lot in under 15 minutes.

That takes balls, crazy or not.

So nuking a place into oblivion is not really a viable alternative anyway.
