It seems that North Korea has chosen to cease all Nuclear Programs, including Nuclear Weapons, and rejoin the Nuclear Non-proliferation treaty in return for trade and diplomatic agreements;

I'm not sure about anyone else, but I did not see that one coming...

I'm overjoyed. I'm sure South Korea is too. I am planning to study in Seoul in one or two years, too, so ... :) But the North Korea problem was always overhyped IMO. End of the day, they are no more of a danger than Bush.

Well, that Cheney character does seem a bit iffy.......

oh, North Korea!  Er, maybe.  They're not really in a position where they can do anything offensive, after all; the whole nuclear thing was posturing to get aid - when the US (IIRC) banned coal aid exports to them it ****ed over their electrcitity system bigtime (relatively speaking), etc.

Who exactly? The US or North Korea? I don't really trust either one of 'em in this situation...:p

...But seriously, I think they might actually be serious, and it's a joyous occaision when a nation takes a step back from possessing the Bomb...

In other news, a recent translation error has confused the Korean word for "cease" with the phrase "unleash with gay abandon".

I just got a vision of warheads pansying around in the stratosphere going "Oh no, I don't want to hit all those people - look at that dress, she really matched it well..."

The rest of us at this point: Ha ha, you made queer missiles! :D

Fortunately there's no provisions against weaponry that strays to the other side of the fence, so to speak.

Otherwise the USM might be in trouble for the gay bomb.

You guys have never heard the phrase "gay abandon" before?

They've heard the words "gay" and "abandon" but obviously never together.

I know you were joking, but the fixation on the inclusion of the word "gay" just led me to wonder if you had ever heard the expression before. I don't mean to be condescending.

And ditto what Zuljin just said.
