I wonder what our Air Force guys in South Korea are doing right now...
Sounds like they are watching missiles fail mid-flight according to CNN.
:-)
I was sort of hoping we'd use this occasion for some live tests of our
anti-missile laser and missile systems. It would be nice to have some
free targets for a change.
I wish I could feel so confident about this thing.
While the world's attention has been diverted to Iraq and Gaza, I think
the real nightmare scenario is developing in North Korea.

I think the nut-jobs in North Korea will use their technology for blackmail.
They are bright enough to realize that if they ever pop of a ballistic
missile or a nuke at anyone, they will be out of power quickly because the
leadership cadre will be dead - squashed like a bug. In the end, staying in
power is their goal and being dead doesn't help that cause. So, instead of
lighting off their toys, they will rattle swords to blackmail the West and
their neighbors for various forms of aid which will serve to keep the little
gargoyle Kim El Jong in power.
The islamists, on the other hand, particularly the ones who have gone over
to the 99.99% extreme of their religion actually believe that dying is a
good thing if it is done in a way that kills infidels. If those people ever
get the bomb, I think they will use it if they get a chance.
