Could this possibly be because the UN is showing itself to be a paper tiger?

It's very probable, but they forget one thing. America is a giant Pitt Bull with a ballsy President and just as we have told the rest of the world that we will attack Iraq without them, we will do the same with North Korea if need be.

IMO, Kim knew the UN was a paper tiger years ago, when the IAEA failed to ensure that those fuel rods had been disposed of. Saddam may be bright enough to realize that President Bush is no one to tick off, but Kim doesn't seem to be. I wonder how much Saddam is paying him in money and oil to pull this conveniently times phycho act right now?
