June 26, 2008 should be marked as a historic date for world peace and North Korea’s move to destroy the cooling tower of it’s main nuclear reactor in Yongbon should be truly momentous and eventful and the world should have a good cause for celebration, a very good one in fact.
It should be remembered that just about a couple of years ago, North Korea had exhibited enormous malice by testing a massive underground nuclear explosion, parading to the world how capable it is in igniting widespread nuclear strike. North Korea’s penchant to sow fear among it’s nearest neighbor was so rampant and notorious in the past years, its act of rocketing devious Tae Po Dong intercontinental missiles over Japan and towards the Pacific every now and then was simply atrocious and malevolent.
But now, North Korea has suddenly made a 360 degree turnaround by declaring so patently its intention to absolutely abandon it’s nuclear ambition on Thursday. Immediately after that, U.S. President George W. Bush had ordered the taking out of North Korea from the list of “rogue” states and allowed the instantaneous withdrawal of economic and trade sanctions against it. All’s well that ends well. And it sounds so much like a good fairytale ending—- and I don’t mind this at all. Every development in favor of world peace and against nuclear proliferation is most welcome of all.
