Default What to do about North Korea...?

The news is reporting that they've launched FOUR missiles now --
possibly one that can reach the U.S. mainland...

I wonder what our Air Force guys in South Korea are doing right now...

:-(


They are flying as usual.

I would not be terribly surprised if we had done something to make sure
the launch failed. It would not be that hard for an Aegis cruiser to
shoot the thing down on launch. (Note to megalomaniacs with dreams of
world domination: do not put your launching pads on the coast.)

North Korea simply hopes to shake down the US for more aid and
concessions. Their sabre rattling has always succeeded in doing this
before. They have no reason to believe it will not work this time.

China needs to start playing ball with us on a few things, or maybe we
will start taking another look at giving Taiwan a seat on the Security
Council.

The Philippines newspapers are full of stories about the launches and
editorials condemning them. The government here does not think that
North Korea needs missiles of any kind.
