With a missile test expected on or before April 15, Japan has made it clear that they will shoot down any missile that they think poses a danger to them.

North Korea has responded by threateneing to attack to Tokyo. Presumably with a missile that Japan will shoot down.

The world, however, finds itself in a unique position. North Korea never should have been allowed to obtain nuclear weapons, and while the usual routine of sanctions and negotiations delayed them by about twenty years, the North still has nuclear weapons. However small and unreliable they might be, something needs to be done, because they're going to continue to develop those bombs, which will only embolden them further. So right now, we have the opportunity to show North Korea that its behaviour will no longer be tolerated.

Those nuclear weapons could have been prevented by the negotiated treaty that got thrown in the waste basket by a presidency that needed the axis of evil. the numbnuts.

The Norks would definitely play nice if a piece of paper told them to.

Maybe if you rolled it up, smacked them over the nose and shouted "Bad North Korea! Bad!" it would have some effect ...

The fact that their missiles are generally shyte does not mean that their nuclear weapon does not go BOOM when they want it to do so. That makes them a scary bunch with loco Jr at the steering wheel.

They are just able to make a big mess and are not so predictable as your average enemy in the proclaimed axis of evil.

I find that the restraint shown by the US goverment is highly comendable instead of sable ratteling.
