Amidst all the uproar about North Korea testing a nuclear weapon this week the world media seems to have left out an important fact....
America has so far performed TWO underground nuclear tests just this year!
"Subcritical Nuclear Testing" involves placing several pounds of radioactive material in an underground bunker along with several hundred pounds of conventional high explosive which is subsequently detonated.
Does this stir up any emotions in anybody else??
All this week I have felt so angry at North Korea who say they are simply defending themselves against a continuing US Nuclear threat ( which the world media claims doesn't exist ) while America has been denouncing their actions and designing legislation to place North Korea under heavy trade embargoes... and then all the while America has been performing nuclear testing of it's own!
I have spent a while scouring American news sources for information regarding their testing and gues what! NOTHING!
Apparently the mainstream population of the US are just as unaware of their Government's actions as we are.
I personally think that this is completely reprehensible and the American government should be publically condemmned for their actions.
Just another way George W. Bush is making the world a nicer place to live.

Our sympathy should go out to them.
