North Korea on Saturday lashed out at Japanese officials as "political imbeciles" for comments that they won't accept the communist nation as a nuclear power, and said Tokyo shouldn't take part in revived talks on the North's atomic program.
The North's Foreign Ministry said in a statement that "there is no need for Japan to participate in (the talks) as a local delegate because it is no more than a state of the U.S. and it is enough for Tokyo just to be informed of the results of the talks by Washington."
"But it is only Japan that expressed its wicked intention, letting loose a spate of balderdashes," the ministry said, referring to comments that Tokyo won't accept a nuclear North Korea. "The Japanese authorities have thus clearly proved themselves that they are political imbeciles incapable of judging the trend of the situation and their deplorable position."
This is not a good sign. N. Korea wants to be know as a Nuclear Power and I am afraid of how far they will take it to be know as one. Will they actuall use the weapon just to be know as a Nuclear Power. It seems possible at this point. It seemed for a little while that things might be getting better in N. Korea but I guess not after those remarks. In this kind of stuation confrontations like that can cost millions of lives.
