Re: OT: North Korea Missile Tests
I think North Korea has the right to do whatever military tests they feel like doing. What country has the right to prevent another sovereign nation from developing weaponry that most of the world already possesses? It doesn't matter if that nation is unpalatable to the rest of the world, as long as they don't interfere with the affairs of another nation. The state of mind and mindset of their leadership is irrelevant.
I say ignore them completely. They are no threat currently, and they will not use nuclear weapons unless they're invaded. After all, if they were stupid enough to nuke someone in North America, they have to know their entire nation would be blown back to the stone age.
I also think they're doing it simply for leverage in future negotiations. Every time they restart their nuclear efforts, or launch an intercontinental missile, the world freaks out, and tries to get them to stop. They only stop when concessions are made to them, usually in the form of international aid. Either way, they win...unless you pay them no attention.
