Hi Joe,

This sounds similar to what some US Congressmen are doing.  Once elected, 
they redraw the congressional boundaries to further support their party so 
that when reelection occurs, they will easily be reelected.  Some states 
have laws against this, but some don't.  My home state, Texas, does not have 
a law against this.

And so it seems.. :)

Well, I guess they'd have to be Israeli...

Seems as though open sources are reporting economic incentives if NK test 
fires their Taepodong-2 ballistic missile.  NK and Iran have been in bed 
with each other for years.  Heck, their both on the "axis of
evil"  
Although NK seems to just rattle their saber a great deal, but never really 
"bite" at anything.  They just want the US to sit down with them
for direct 
talks, and the US won't do it until NK complies with world wide mandates 
regarding their Nuclear facilities & Human rights issues.  Hell, NK and SK 
are both still at war, it was never over... It's just an armistice (albeit a 
long one).

Cheers!
