Big Day for Li'l Kim

North Korea successfully detonated a nuke yesterday, and with that has given Kim Jong Il the best anniversary gifts: making world powers run about in a frenzy at the mere mention of his tiny, unstable Stalinist country. No wonder those NK soldiers felt comfortable enough to tiptoe across the DMZ this weekend.

I am not sure how convinced I am that N. Korea would actually use their nukes, given that if they tried the repercussions would be severe. However, I do have concerns about how willing they would be to sell those nukes to entities that would be willing to make areas of the U.S. glow in the dark.
