US has confirmed with Japan its status of right to use Japanese military bases if necessary in emergency.
Of course, this means that next year's Nobel Prize winner will be Kim Jong-Il.
Japanese press now reports from CNN the exchange that took place between Kelly of State Dept. and his N. Korean counterpart in Pyongyang last week, Comrade Kan. Kan stated that Kelly put the photographic evidence in front of him. Then Kan replied to Kelly: "Your President has referred to (our Republic) as one of the nations of so--called "Axis of Evil". But your country stations its troops on the Korean peninsula. Naturally we have developed our nuclear program in response."
