tomcat	because they want the us to go turn north korea into a parking lot Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

koyotee	North Korea is trying not to punk out. Bush labeled them a year or so back as being in the axis of evil. North Korea believes it needs to beef up its defenses at all cost before the U.S. puts its head on the chopping block. Being a merciful ruler escapes that nation. They only understand power as justification for ruling over people. They will continue to reject the proposals, until they feel that they have made their point. Their back asswards simply. Their leader doesn't want to be a member of the national community. He wants left alone to be the brutal dictator that he is. Sometimes, a dictator only wants to rule a certain area, not a planet. Petty people are like that. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

LastNerveLost	Kim Jong IL is an egomaniac narcissist who uses elevator shoes to improve his stature and actually had his national newspaper print that he made 11 holes-in-one (in an 18 hole game) so his people think he is a god. He pitches a fit when the news is not all about him, so he decided to up the ante. Unfortunately, he is nuts enough to actually launch a nuke if not given said attention before someone takes his lunatic back-side out. I can only imagine the hissy fits he's having now that the current crisis is focused on the middle-east instead of him. God help us all if he starts jumping up and down screaming, "Wait, looky here! Looky here!" Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

fathead	Why WOULD they? If they agreed to stop firing missles then all media attention would shift back to the middle-east. They hate that! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

will	Because they can. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

texas0413	Because they are a bunch of selfish bastards that need to be destroyed. We ought to go blow up that whole ******** country. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Hassen	The plain and simple answer is because they don't want to be told what they can and cannot do, and because as long as China and Russia are leinient with them, they know they can get away with it. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

hotrod9230	because they want to de-throne the usa as a world power. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

georgebramejr	Because he is crazy. They also like the attention and they need money. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

urmyfavorite	They want more $$$$$$$$$$$ from America! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ymingy@sbcglobal.net	Because they already starve their own people, and dump all their money into their military. They have very little to lose by pissing off the UN, whereas the more they show they're willing to be idiots with their nuclear weapons, the more "leverage" they think they'll get. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Angel	Because they are pricks. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Paul G	Because of the Kim ****** should target him by satilite and fire a tomahawk at him and have it go up his butt and go off LOL Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

lees_sword	Under international law, they had to give a reaction to such a serious step by the UN. To do nothing would be equal to accepting it, which has legal implications that would harm NK. To accept it, the same legal issue arises. And there is no fourth way--NK does not have a right to "study" the resolution. So, they had to reject. Also, NK is fully aware that they are already in violation of a number of treaties. But they also want to use their rocket science and nuke capabilities to gain friends (in the Arab or Terroristic worlds which are not necessarily the same thing) and to obtain ready cash--for they are just about bankrupt if not already so. And, NK is playing a hard-nose game in hopes the nations more or less alined against it will develop a crack that they can wiggle through. Remember, they have a 1.2 million member military. It may be half-starved and perhaps largely disloyal but it exists and no one wants a war beginning within 20 miles of Soule just to find out how combat-ready it is. Finally, what have they to lose by rejecting it? --Nothing. The resolution (greatly watered down) is not really enforceable--and even in its current wording, it is a defeat for the USA and Japan. Rejecting even the watered-down version was adding insult to injury. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
