Reactions to the North Korean test from around Asia
The Boom Heard Around the World
[F]our other countries officially--Britain, France, India and
Pakistan--officially joined the nuclear club, with another, being
Israel, unofficially a member. There was no alarm registered in
Washington at Britain’s application for membership and very little at
France’s. India and Pakistan provoked a bit of a shock, but nothing
truly substantial changed in their relationship with the US. The outcry
from other nations not considered friends of Washington was less
positive. At the same time, they couldn’t help but notice that a
nuclear enemy of Washington was much less likely to be attacked than a
non-nuclear one.....
In fact, it was the failure of Washington to follow through on its end of the deal brokered by Clinton’s administration--a deal that would have provided northern Korea with light-water reactors capable of making energy but not weapons--that some say led to the impasse between the two capitals. However, it should be noted that Pyongyang had frozen the reactor where yesterday’s test fuel came from after 1994 under the terms agreed to by Washington and Pyongyang. Indeed, it was only after George Bush included Pyongyang in his so-called axis of evil that the reactor was started up again and the process that led to the nuclear test restarted.
Bush and North Korea
The crisis with North Korea was entirely avoidable for anyone with
even minimal diplomatic skills and an elementary understanding of human
psychology. Instead, the Bush troupe persisted for 6 years with the
same inflexible policy nudging Kim ever-closer to producing his first
nuclear weapon.Now, half the population of the United States is in the
gun-sights of a madcap tyrant whose basic grasp of reality has always
been seriously in doubt.
Welcome to the Nuclear Club
For the next four weeks, the Bush administration will do its best
to exploit the North Korean nuclear test to stave off a loss of the
Republican majority in Congress. We should not allow those efforts to
obscure how Bush’s reckless record has heightened the nuclear dangers
for everyone.
North Korea: Tomorrow May Never Come
North Korean Nuke Tests Say World Must Return to Peace Agenda

Not exactly art or education, Chibi was originally the reason I decided to create a web site. Chibi would probably have liked AJ, a radical, non-violent activist cat from NY.
Music page
A song I wrote in 1988 for Korean and other foreign residents of Japan involved in the civil rights movement here. Melody: Tom Paxton's Rambling Boy
Go Down You Broken Old Man
A song of renewal and hope
There's a Lesson To be Learned in the Trees
When children die, we must be there to turn death around. It was true during the Vietnam war, and it is true today. Resist and refuse.
I'd like to sit down by you
Sun crossing the room, a hoped for romance
The Highway Song (Monoxide Song)
Wrote late high school, linking the environment to love. About commitment and betrayal.
3 Months Ago
A love ends, a new one begins. Between these two events can seem a long time. This is a song about both loss and hope
Bar at Midnight
Sitting at Holger Danske Bodega in Elsinore, Denmark, I wrote this in 1975.
Rippling Sea
A poem I put to music, about the seashore at Miura Hanto.
Tofu Spaghetti
I was asked by an English Speaking Society at a Japanese school to give a lecture on something. I had no idea, as I hate lectures or speechmaking. So I came up with the idea of doing things that go against the grain...like combining tofu and spaghetti.
Pressures of the World
Written as a buffer to insulate us from the pains of growing up. Pretty funny, even now.
The Night is Young
Just a love song, from the early 1980s.
The Revision
About Japanese government's changes to immigration law affecting Korean and other former colonial subjects and their descendents, as well as all 'foreign' residents and continued arbitrary treatment of those who commited civil disobedience in order to make a more just society.
Spider song
A failed attempt at love gave birth to this song about salvaging a friendship.
