Neither its INDEPENDENCE this is Pyongyang's show of solidarity and strength. Just because they parade their military might does not mean they are to attack at any time remember the laws of war, countries will only attack if provoked,sanctioned or influenced by other means that conflicts with their way of life so remember this and learn it well because that is the only justification of war, though in reality war is hell but it should only be as last resort only. Kim Jong Il gets my fullest appraisal of sticking up for what North Korea and what he believe's in. This is never about aggression nor is it about desperation ever. So Go North Korea show you wont be pushed around and be Independent with ultimately your own thoughts.

Couldn't agree with you more Impera, North Korea is merely responding to an increasingly hostile and draconian international regime of Imperialism. It seems its ok for the West to have a monopoly on nucelar weapons, but not anyone else, despite the fact that it is these small countries which require such armament for protection against political manipulation by the conglomerates of the international community. If the international community is so quick to prevent other nations from developing such technology, then they should heed their own counsel and remove their own nuclear arsenal.
