US and Spain intercept weapons cargo
Doctor V:
IMO, Korea is an utterly frightening nation, much worse that Iraq. The problem with Koreans is their intense, zealous nationalism. Their love of their own nation and race goes even beyond the dedication of even the most radical of Muslims. I wish more people knew about the Korean mentality. Ultra nationalism is never a good thing, its what backed the Nazis. I'm not saying that Koreans are Nazis, but I am saying that their love of their own race is probably much stronger than even the German's nationalism back in the 30s (before Hitler's rise). They believe that they are superior to all others. In their minds, asians (except the Japanese) are superior to all other races, and that Koreans are at the top of the heap. I'm not saying all Koreans are this way -there are many great people who are Korean, but the Korean media does promote this kind of super-nationalism, and the people, for the most part, follow it. Unfortunately, this type of thing dosn't usually get the attention of the western media. :(

I only found out about North Korea's spookiness very recently. Before that all I knew about it came from MASH. I saw a video of children marching in a big stadium-like place waving candles while hot wax burned their faces, but they still looked very happy. They worship their leader like a god, which is extrememly scary by itself.
Calum:
north korea will have to wait their turn though. there's at least a year of media mileage in Iraq before the US media will need to turn to N Korea for news material. I'm astonished they even got let into the axis of evil in the first place, don't you need to be an arab for that?
voidmain:
Nope, England is on our list right after Korea.
Calum:
