Those who cannot challenge the facts instead attack the messenger. A classic propaganda move to avoid the fact that N Korea has not violated all sorts of treaty obligations. One who is informed only by an war advocate would believe a silly idea that a N Korean electric system could not absorb 5 Megawatts. 5 megawatts could easily be even in any African electric system. Undertoad has posted pictures providing that 5 megawatts is desperately needed.

Posted was a specific question. The question was asked to learn if Undertoad or sycamore understood details before they marched off in admiration of George Jr. What recent event triggered these events. Insead of attacking the messenger, provide the world with knowledge that it seeks - if you can. What event triggered these events?

If North Korea really only want to use the nuclear power to produce electricity, why get rid of UN inspectors and monitoring equipment, which could insure that the world knew they weren't making bombs.

And as for NK not violating treaty obligations, the whole reason the Bush administration shut off fuel shipments to North Korea was because it was discovered they were pursuing an illegal nuclear weapons program.
