 World Reacts to North Korean LaunchPosted on Apr 5, 2009
The U.N. Security Council held an emergency meeting following what North Korea described as a satellite launch but what the U.S. and South Korea said was actually a long-range missile test. The U.S., the European Union, Japan and South Korea have all weighed in with varying degrees of concern, while China and Russia have urged calm and restraint. The meeting ended without achieving a resolution or statement. According to the U.S. Northern Command, the missile broke up and the debris landed in the Pacific Ocean. According to North Korea, the nation now has a satellite orbiting the Earth broadcasting the songs of Gen. Kim Il-sung and Gen. Kim Jong-il.

boggs: Be specific- What power do we have over the North Koreans? If the US wanted to conquer, why is Korea still divided? Who is acting like its a mystery that the guy’s a whack job? What proof and/or connection do you cite that the Binghamton tragedy was caused by any US atrocities? The Gaza Palestinians pump rockets indiscriminately into southern Israel- are they just like us?

jr: You’re happy that the PRK launched (actually it failed) a missile capable of hitting the US? And what part of reality does your second paragraph refer to?

As far as I am concerned, the Koreans know first hand that they cannot trust the U.S.
Report thisThey know that we might concoct any story that sounds good and that scares the american people just so we can hold power over them.
Korea is divided because of the U.S. and its need to conquer.
We act like its a mystery when an Asian man goes on a shooting rampage in our country. Don’t we realize that many of these young men have no family because of our atrocities.
We are the ones with bombs that travel around the globe dropping them indiscriminately.

Congratulations to Kin-Jong-Il and the North Koreans for that successful launch.
Once again u.s. intelligence proves to be wrong. Doesn’t america know it’s not right to cry wolf. I know, i know, anything to get what you are wanting.
