I cannot believe no one has talked about North Korea and their successful and failed missile tests yet, so I thought I would bring this up. Now, I will caveat this by saying I will be in South Korea from Aug 1 through the 9th, so I am a little apprehensive about going -- but that is not the point of this thread.
What do you guys think about the missile tests? How about the little wanna-be dictator who wears platform shoes to make himself look bigger? Do they as a nation have a right to test? Should they listen to the world when all leaders are telling them to stop? Why would they threaten nuclear war with the US for us defending their ally, Japan, against missiles flying overhead?
I am pretty sure this is just another dictator trying to wave his sword in the public eye so that the world will notice him (cough Sadaam), but has anyone else got any views on this from a world standpoint?
And oh ... on the threatening nuclear war issue, apparently they have not read what happened in 1945 to Hiroshima and Nagasaki. [flush]
I just do not get it .... does anyone else?
