Obama warned the N. Koreans that if they fired that missile, there would be "dire consequences".
They fired the missile anyway.
Obama ran to the U.N. and told on them.
Problem solved.

If I stated before 911 that nineteen fanatics with box cutters would murder 3000 civilians in the U.S… I would have been laughed off this site. N. Korea is a threat to the U.S and its allies. A dismissive attitude, like in the review below reinforces my fear of having a Liberal in the White House.

Almost comical US media coverage about the NK rockets. . .that couldn't push junk into orbit.

North Korea gets offended when the rest of the world is too busy with business and meetings (G-20) and thus rattles the cage to make sure someone pays attention to them. Their weapons are a joke. Their public displays are childish.

The level of severity is there because this is a state that has committed acts of terrorism - but these recent events of showing junk rockets that can't even get shite into space should be treated with more humor and disdain instead of the media's portrayal of Dumbo getting 'his first phone call at 2a.m.'. . .please. North Korea always (always) wants attention when the rest of the world is busy with more important things. And if they can't get rockets/satellites that work they aren't ever going into space unless we need to see more Wil E. Coyote demonstrations like this one.
