The Bush administration ignored the North Korean issue and went to war in Iraq on false assumptions. On the contrary the Clinton administration did engage the North Koreans and there was a visible progress in dialogue between the two countries before it was scrapped by the present administration. The Bush administration isolated the North Korean regime and refused to talk to them after labelling them as a part of “Axis of Evil”.
The North Koreans pushed their nuclear programme ahead while Americans were busy in a false and fabricated war in Iraq. They [the Bush administration] deliberately ignored the greater threat [North Korea] and now the whole world is going to pay the price. Being a member of the nuclear club, the North Koreans seem to be untouchable now and the Americans will think twice before initiating any kind of military response to tackle this problem.
The best way to resolve this issue is to start a serious dialogue with the North Korean regime for a permanent ceasefire in the Korean peninsula with condition that they [the North Koreans] will do their best to stop further nuclear proliferation around the world. It will be contra productive if the world community tries to further isolate the regime in Pyongyang. Tough economic sanctions will force the regime to export nuclear weapon or nuclear know-how to countries or organisations for financial gains which will pose a serious and major threat to peace and stability in the world.

EID – A THANKSGIVING OF WASHING ONESELF FROM SIN ???
Religion indeed is needed to maintain moral ascendancy for humanity, however we must clip it to the proper sphere of understanding on how their doctrines affect realism of life. The nearest metaphor of religion to humanity is just an icing to the cake. Either a cake had icing and whatever icing cover it or nothing … still it is a cake … however icing alone can never be a cake.

Now it is the indoctrination of those interpretations and the persecutions of those who dare to question, that is the cause. It created beliefs that make people blind to what is there to be seen. We look with our eyes, but we see with our mind, and it is unquestioned beliefs that blindfold the mind.
.
Interpretation can only be as good as reasoning and available knowledge can make it. But the suppression of further reasoning by intimidation and persecution of those who question was what made the evolution of organized religions the greatest disaster to befall this planet since that which wiped out the dinosaurs.
.
By their own actions organized religions proved the evolution they denied. Animals fight for dominance, power and territory as a means of survival, and when religions did the same they proved their own evolution from the animals. And that demonstrates the need to always be prepared to question beliefs when further evidence indicates an error.
.
The purpose of questions is to find answers. There is no point in discussing any problem unless you are looking for a solution. A well proven philosophy, has always a logical answer, always a simple solution, if we are prepared to keep looking. When we find it, it is usually right under our nose where we could not see it because of our traditional fear and belief.
.
And Islam, Christianity and all religious sects are not exempted. Humanity has the rights and privilege to stand back for breathing space and to reconcile what is the reality. The most important point for us to remember is . . . RELIGIOUS FANATICISM will bring us to the brink of extinction.

Every country in the world should give up their nuclear weapons! Isreal should give back the land they stole from the palestinians and America should stop sticking their nose into other peoples buisness. The UK should stop imigration completely and send the muslims home! Africa should work out whether they want fresh running water and medicine or no white men and death from starvation and disease. I know these solutions might be a bit harsh for some people but if you really think about it ive solved some of the biggest political problems of the last ten years in a few sentences.Its hard times now and hard tactics should be used!!! If we sort this out then maybe we can save the earth!!
