quote: N. Korea Claims Nuclear Test Geologists in the South Detect Man-Made Blast
TOKYO, Oct. 9 -- North Korea declared on Monday that it had conducted its first nuclear test, asserting a claim to be the world's newest nuclear power and drawing strong international condemnation.
The South Korean government informed officials in Washington that an explosion occurred at 10:36 a.m. local time. Minutes later, North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency announced the test, calling it "a historical event that has brought our military and our people huge joy."

Simple, there's no oil in North Korea.
You know you've got to worry when China & Japan start agreeing on something.

There's no "world's largest standing army with Russiam made weapons" there either.
It was pointed out last night (on Charlie Rose's show) that there was a time when the Bush administration could have disabled NK's nuclear program with one or two airstrikes...bt that ship sailed a few years back.
