Jo – I can add little to your comment. In particular, your closing sentence sums up the situation perfectly.

America reminds me of the nun, Maria, from the Sound of Music, who self-righteously preached to the von Trapp children (European nations) on how to follow her good example, all the while harboring carnal lusts for their father.

Double standards rule, okay?

Quote from this morning’s BBC News:
“The United Nations Security Council is working on a strong condemnation of what it says is North Korea’s contravention of its rules.”
(http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/8069457.stm)
Ummmm… And that will help how?

The problem with Susan Rice’s position
“The pressure will increase on North Korea, economically and otherwise, and North Korea will realize that its actions have only left it further isolated and further debilitated.”
is that these sort of sanctions only work if the country in question cares. N Korea, as in Iraq and Iran, will just see these sanctions as proof that the rest of the world is against them, and therefore emphasising the need to make sure that they are as well armed and ready to respond to any threat when (or before) it occurs. The better response would be to treat North Korea as a grown up nation in its own right, with all the respect that that entails.

Nevin – this is exactly what I mean by “America’s high-handed, arrogant, attitude towards North Korea”, and of course it applies equally to Iran:

“We’ve got the best toy, you can’t have it.”

Always, the West is negotiating from its position of strength, treating the other guy like he’s a second class citizen. Is it any wonder Kim and Ahmadinajad get upset and start making threats?

American arrogance is renowned throughout the world. We saw it raise its ugly head in Iraq, in Afghanistan, where the US cares not one jot when it slaughters innocent women and children, yet wails like a baby when US servicemen are killed.

America is at the heart of these world problems. It’s support of Israeli aggression against the Palestinians is legendary, turning much of the Arab world against the West.

If we are ever to have peace on this planet it’s the United States that first has to change, and sadly there’s precious little sign of it under Barack Obama.

R J A, What gets me most is the hypocrisy of the whole thing. Why is it OK for some countries to have Nuclear Weapons and not others. If you ask me, ALL nuclear weapons should be banned and abolished! But countries like the US, UK, France or Israel would never agree to something like this. Why? Because they are the “good guys”…. it makes me laugh! There are no good or bad with any nation holding the N. W. in their hands…..

We are living in an increasingly dangerous world. It takes one crazy nation to push to button, the rest of the world will follow as a retaliation or in the name of defense …. poooffff

END OF HUMAN KIND!
