Diplomats in Beijing said at the weekend that China and all the major US allies believed North Korea's claim that it had detonated a nuclear device. US director of national intelligence John Negroponte circulated a report that radiation had been detected at a site not far from the Chinese border.

The Washington Times disclosed that US spy satellites photographed North Koreans playing volleyball just a few hundred metres from a test site tunnel after the underground explosion.

Is Iran listening? Great idea on the regime change idea - that would solve China's problem, the problem that the international community has with N. Korea, and it could also set the stage for a serious attitude adjustment on the part of the Iranian regime.
