Mq, contrary to popular rumour, Im not reading Washington Post and I dont watch Fox. And you cant dispute the fact of persisting, long-term, catastrophic famine in NK. Now, what was your point? Oh yes, CDMA in NK... There's reality and there is phantasy. People with phantasy are prone to confuse the two.

If weapons of mass destruction are considered bad, those with the most weapons of mass destruction do not live in Iraq, Iran, North Korea or Congo I wondered when you'd make such an obvious point. You uncharacteristically didn't elaborate it too well. I'll therefore take up the laboring oar on that important issue. The only weapons of mass destruction in the US arsenal are innocuous little things--cheeseburgers made by MacDonald's and Marlboro cigarettes. Think about it, Mq, since a lot of the beef used by MickeyD is raised in the tropics, the cheese-bombs destroy the ability of the biosphere to absorb excess CO2, thereby heating up the world, thereby causing hurricanes and droughts, most of which afflict the hapless Third World. If a drought or a hurricane won't do it, the fat and cholesterol absorbed by the bloodstream as a result of eating the cheese-munition will breach the poor Third Worlders' circulatory system, causing premature death, all while imbuing him with the notion that he is "modern" and Westernized. If you're an ex-smoker like I am, you are no doubt aware of the pleasure one can derive from a post-prandial Marlboro. I can only imagine the destructive synergy of the combined cancer stick and the cheesy cardiac plug. In the US, most of are quite health conscious, of course, especially as our socio-economic status goes higher. Thus, MacD's profits have lessened domestically and Philips Morris has taken it on the chin in the courtrooms. Naturally, we won't self-wound ourselves, though a few of us still haven't gotten the message. Most of them are poor, and who needs them, right? Who needs anthrax, Sarin, atomics, etc., when Mickey D and Philips Morris are doing the work for us and making a nice offshore profit to boot, all while bathing the victims in a warm glow of deadly pleasure.
