If you have not read or hear about it all over the news, North Korea has launched a few missles today.  The South Koreans are trying to shake it off and say that it’s just normal military drill for the North, but I don’t think that’s the case.  I believe that the South Korean are keeping a close eye on those crazy communists up there.  Some sources say that because America is concentrating too much on its elections that the ongoing nuclear talks will not achieve much in the near future.

I read this story at TheStar today and I must say, talk about oppression by the Chinese government.  If you haven’t read, or don’t want to read the story, in short, the Chinese government sentenced Yang Chunlin to 5-years in jail for his petition letter, "We want human rights, not the Olympics."  I am feeling quite uneasy about this, I wouldn’t want the Olympics to be in China if this is the case.  I mean, I would want the people of my country to be well off first before I worry about international business.
