North Korea, walking down the path of destruction

The US envy on North Korea dismissed hopes for an immediate diplomatic solution over Pyongyang's expected nuclear test, saying that the isolated state was bent on playing a game of risk. The comments come as North Korea threatens daily that it is preparing its third nuclear test in response to UN sanctions imposed on North Korea for a long-range rocket launch in December.

If North Korea provokes again, they will be walking a very slippery road which will only lead to their destruction. US warnings about the consequences of a third test have been backed by unusually strident criticism of North Korea by its sole major ally China.

North Korea must not go ahead with a nuclear test. This would only deepen the country's international isolation. The test would also set back efforts to restart regional talks on the North Korea's nuclear disarmament.
