North Korea destroys nuclear cooling tower
June 27, 2008
Never thought this day would come.
In a gesture demonstrating its commitment to halt its nuclear weapons program, North Korea blew up the most prominent symbol of its plutonium production Friday.
Next they’ll be telling me that Kim Jong Il’s regime has been overthrown and replaced with a liberal democracy.
Of course, in a sense, this gesture is just symbolic; North Korea could always get nuclear material from somewhere else, although it would be ruinously expensive. Still, even the gesture is something that your good blogger thought would never come about. And on that score, he is pleasantly surprised.
