Japan and North Korea

It's kind of like a video game, except <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/asiapcf/04/02/north.korea.rocket/index.html">it's real.</a>
 
North Korea is planning on testing some kind of rocket very soon, something that Japan is clearly not happy about. In fact, Japan is planning on keeping watch on this rocket and shooting it down if it launches. Korea, after learning this and seeing Japan prepare to back up it's statements, has now threatened to attack Japan if they do in fact shoot down this rocket.
 
Overall, this is a good article. Stays with the point pretty well. The one thing I don't like is that the author is flip-flopping the terms "satellite" and "missile." I don't know about you (unles you're Justin), but when I think "missile" I think of great, massive, rather unnecessary but totaly worth it, explosions and fire. A "satillite" is just something that circles the world reciving and sending information. It's just that two different things come to mind. Other than that, this article gets my two thumbs up of approval.

You know, now that I've taken a slightly closer look at my blog, I've discovered how horribly obnoxious asking for comments over and over again are. I should probably change that. Preferably into something whitty and creative. Perhaps a knock-knock joke?

Whoah... Scary situation. Nice to know that you know about me, but I honestly do not share your sentiments about satellites and missiles. Also, I was looking over the article in question, and it has a serious lack of anything labeled "international repercussions." I don't think it goes into nearly enough depth. But, that's just me.
