Statements by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton brought a harsh response from North Korea. Clinton urged Asian nations to impose new, stronger sanctions against North Korea in the wake of that country's sinking of a South Korean warship in March. The North countered with a statement that such a move would draw a "physical response" against a joint U.S.-South Korea military drill. The United States wants to curb North Korea's nuclear development because any nation with nuclear capabilities is a threat to its global plans. Several other countries, such as Myanmar (formerly Burma), see nuclear power as a deterrent from America invading them and seeing a repeat of the Iraq and Afghanistan takeover attempts.

The recovered animal had a 40-pound head close to three feet in diameter. Scientists put its body in a large plasti... Continue reading...
