Comment - This analysis says the North Koreans are clearly moving quickly to
make as many nuclear bombs as they can while the U.S. is busy with Iraq. If
they get away with it, it could start a domino effect with many other
countries...Japan, South Korean, Taiwan...also getting nuclear weapons for
self protection.
But there's not a whole lot we can do about it. Military strikes are not an
option: they could mean war with China. And diplomatic pressure and
appeasement probably won't work any better than it did for President
Clinton.
I still think China will eventually have to address the issue, most likely
by taking over North Korea's nukes or deposing their dictator.
News - Full Moon names:

Comment - "Full Moon names in the United States date back primarily to
Native Americans who lived in what is now the northern and eastern United
States. Those tribes of a few hundred years ago kept track of the seasons by
giving distinctive names to each recurring full Moon. Their names were
applied to the entire month in which each occurred."
For example, the Full Moon of February (just past) was known as the Full
Hunger Moon, because heavy snows made it tough to find something to munch
on.
