DR:
Is No Dong a person or place perhaps?
David is probably too young or too Scot to remember the song "My
Ding-a-ling". Obviously No Dong refers to a non functioning ding-a-ling or
ED as we politely refer to a dud dick. No wonder North Korea's ready to
talk.

I thought of Helen Caldicott's book when I read in today's paper that the
Shahab 3 missile is based on North Korea's No Dong missile. Because my
mind didn't want come to terms with the potential human cost of all
this...er... saber rattling, I focused on the fact that Shahab was
translated in the paper as "shooting star," but there was no translation
given for No Dong. The online translation sites say that No Dong in
Korean means No Dong in English. Other sites gave me Lee Chang-Dong, a
movie director, and a website that allows you to see who owns any
domain--DomainTools--which says that NoDongJa.net will be up for auction
tomorrow. > Along the way I found this site
http://www.armscontrolwonk.com/1792/forden-on-the-shahab-3
which may interest Lawrence and anyone else with an interest in the
weakest link.
