Are we supposed to be impressed or something? Ok granted if the situation was right they could easily sell this missile to anyone who has the cash and in theory a nuclear warhead could be put on it and then its just a matter of putting it on a slow boat and firing it off the coast. But that's a huge what if and lets be honest, The North Korean's aren't that damn lucky.
Now I haven't been to fond of G Dubbya lately, but lets be honest we all know North Korea is playing a game of chicken right now because they know even if they did do something like attack the South or fire at Japan, they know we're not going to do anything because there's no way the Chinese would allow us to turn North Korea in a smoking hole in the ground. I believe even if they do test this missile, nothing will come of it.
I'm more concerned with Iran since its almost a given we'll be at war with them by the end of the summer. It's just a matter of what happens between now and then. Oh sure there's plenty of evil forces that want us to go to war with Iran (neocons,pnac, ect). But even though it would make Iraq look pale in comparrison, the Iranian goverment are right up there with The Chinese and North Korean's when it comes to human rights.
The United States might not be perfect, but you don't see us hanging rape victims because under the letter of their law, it consitutes pre-marital sex. You don't see us censoring our political enemies. I think I had a point in all of this, but I'll be damned if I can remember it.
Either way I could care less if North Korea can launch this missile. As long as it lands no where near me or anyone I care about, Kim Jon 'Mentally' Ill will have no problems with this ugly American.
