Country:  | I read an op-ed peice this morning that brought up a good idea. The missile is already on the pad and ready to launch. The area is remote with no real civilian areas nearby. One well placed Tomahawk could wipe out the missile and the launch complex. Problem solved, and it should make Iran a little nervous at the same time.
Commence launch!

Country:  | That sounds great. Yes, Iran must feel a bit nervous with something like that.

Country:  | Why use a cruise missile? This is perfect oppurtunity to test out the F/A-22. A real show of force for North Korea.

Country: | No sense risking any American lives for that turd. One well placed cruise missile will do the trick. I don't think we need a show of force, I am pretty sure he knows what we are capable of.

Commence launch! | Excellent idea. Plus the country is almost, if not actually bankrupt and the cost of replacing the infrastructure may well put an end to this folly. | |

Country: | Good idea Eric, I agree on the not wasting any lives for him, one (or more) cruise missile would do the trick.
Yes Glider North Korea is bankrupt most of the population is starving and living below the poverty line. Meanwhile the top people are living in luxury. There are 5 lane highways that are empty in North Korea....

Country:  | North Korea launched a long-range Taepodong-2 missile early Wednesday in an apparently unsuccessful test that failed in flight, a senior State Department official said.
North Korea also tested at least two smaller missiles, U.S. sources told CNN.
Both missiles were launched from a site other than the one intelligence officials have watched for weeks ahead of the long-range missile test, a senior State Department official said.
The United States, Japan and other countries have warned North Korea against a long-range missile test, saying such a move would be considered a provocation.
(CNN)

Country: | Me too, NS! The numbers are changing with each report. Now it looks like 5 or 6, but who knows with the press. They are wetting themselves to have a new story.

Country: | North Korea test-fires at least six missiles, including a long-range one. The long-range missile that analysts fear could hit America failed in mid-air, U.S. officials said. The short-range missiles landed in the Sea of Japan.
