Lots of big, somewhat disturbing news today:

North Koreans about to test a nuke?

Iran cutting communication with the outside world?

Pakistani Woman stopped at airport after positive explosive test

This is just weird, but could be something:
Missile flying in Hawaii?

These are all potentially related events.  If North Korea becomes an official confirmed nuclear power, that changes the whole balance of power in Asia.  There are also possible issues of transfer of technology, if not a bomb, to Iran.  Iran shutting down it's people's access to the outside world is very concerning- Remember, information is power- and the Mullahs want to control the information. 

The Woman who was caught with explosive reside (I think that's all it was) could have been part of an attempt to test our airport security by terrorists, or simply an attempt by the terrorists to throw the whole security thing into overdrive, and making everone lose patience.

The thing in Hawaii is almost a complete unknown at this time, but you never know.

Oh, yeah, August 22nd is coming very soon, too.  I'm a tad nervous about it- I think Iran plans something, but who knows how big it'll be.
