North Korean Nukes

Here's some disturbing news:

“We ... have manufactured nukes for self-defense to cope with the Bush administration’s evermore undisguised policy to isolate and stifle the [North].” - North Korean Government

And it looks like it's not just North Koreans who believe it:

"A U.S. official told NBC News’ Robert Windrem on Thursday that U.S. intelligence would not dispute reported estimates that North Korea had six to eight nuclear weapons, noting that the Energy Department had said it could have as many as 10 or 12.

'What the North said today confirms what our intelligence has been for more than a decade,” the official said on condition of anonymit
y.'"

Is it just me or does it feel like we're pissing off a lot of countries lately? Iran, Russia, North Korea, Great Britain, France and Germany. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come over the next four years.
