according to CNN it was 7 missles actually not 3

all the following, if its wrong, I'm just copying and pasting to fuel discussion


China prefers a divided Korea to a strong democratic Korea that would compete with them. But even they don't want too big a mess.

A number of other countries buy weapons from North Korea. They may not like North Korea, but they find them useful. "According to US sources, other customers of North Korean missile parts and technology include Pakistan, Iran, Egypt, Libya, Syria and Vietnam."

This isn't that simple. Obviously North Korea is not going to attack us. That's too nuts, even for them.

But they think that testing weapons will get them something. They may be very wrong. But we have no obvious ways to fix this situation. War against North Korea would be more costly than the war in Iraq. If we squeeze them economically, their best source of income is more weapons sales. Our best strategy may be to contain them and hope the government falls internally. Not all that wonderful.



Technically, the Korean War never ended. We're just in a really long cease fire.
