A Letter From Jake

Kathe's son Jake sent this message to a few people:

First they said there was no radioactivity, now they say "trace amounts". I don't buy it. For sure Kim Jong Il is dangerous, but I think the test was a fake, and the US is lying because it fits Bush's need to continue terrorizing the US population into supporting his power trip.

Here's what I think happened: Crazy Kim Jong Il demanded a successful test. His people know that they could not do it, but needed to find a way to avoid a bullet in the head. So they stacked up a few thousand pounds of TNT in a mine shaft and blew it up. Crazy Kim has no idea at all what's going on, and all his people will lie to him, lest they end up in a camp or dead...

There was no nuclear test.


I say...could be. Really, though, considering how shamefully Bush alternately ignored and provoked Kim, would Bush really benefit from a successful North Korean nuclear test? Or would a failed test cause people to laugh it off and turn their attention elsewhere?

On the other hand, we now know that Iraqi nuclear scientists faked progress toward a nuclear bomb in order to keep their heads, so Maybe Kim and the Party elite are taking a leaf from them. It's possible.
