Big talk and no action is what we've come to expect from the UN, and this resolution is true to form. However, Japan and South Korea will not sit still and allow the Nork's to threaten them. Very soon, they too, will be building and testing nuclear weapons, and there may well be others in the region who will come to similar conclusions. But, things could be worse, Kim Jong-il could be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
