"The "black air" crack refers back to London in the 1800's, when ALL they burned was coal. The sky was black."

Ah yes, The Differential Engine. Still, that isn't a concern in NK. We are talking about a country that doesn't mind starving their people to death. If Iraq was so bad that we needed to invade for humanitarian reasons, why ar we sparing NK? Other than the fact they have a more potent military and can inflict more damage than Iraq under Saddam that is. Not to mention their lack of oil...

Ok, they are a member of the 'Axis of Evil'. But in almost every aspect, they are worse than Iran or Iraq under Saddam, ignoring the lack of oil. Why aren't we massing at their borders?

JCP, North Korea didn't want to burn coal for the same reasons WE don't want to burn coal.

B.S. The one thing preventing North Korea from using their coal is their inadequate rail system. Environmental concerns mean jack when the population can't even eat or keep the lights on.
