North Korea Launches "Communication Satellite" Rocket
Mad Ivan writes "The BBC has just reported that North Korea has launched a long-range rocket, which they say is a communications satellite, but that the US and Japan fear may actually be a ballistic missile. Details are still arriving; the rocket passed over northern Japan on its way up."
First (and last) post!
What goes up must come down!
Putting effective ICBMs in the hands of someone like Kim Jong Il is insanely irresponsible.
It's not as dangerous as it first appears. All you need to do is make a few hollywood blockbusters with the right theme and he'll disarm instantly.
Multiple wrongs do not make a right,
but 3 lefts do...
Any latest news about what is happening would be appreciated.
Currently, the place where you are has NOT yet been nuked by north korea.
Funny considering you're the only country who has actually used them in a war.
Yes, but if you look at it another way, we've had nukes for 64 years since then without using them, that's longer than any other country!!!
I really think if Dr. Strangelove were remade today, that line should be in it.
Well, the previous administration wanted us to believe Iraq had nuclear weapons when they invaded. Does that count?
We hope your rules and wisdom choke you / Now we are one in everlasting peace
Are you sure that's a good idea ?
That would probably be a pretty big boom.
Wanna fight ? Bend over, stick your head up your ass, and fight for air.
you're forgetting all the good the UN has done. like when they UN-nazied the world -- forever.

...in a faux-german accent, as a parody of Werner von Braun:
"I aim for ze stars, but zumtimes I hit London"
Dunno what a faux-Korean accent would be, but I expect a few one-liners like this about the Dear Leader, Kim Jong-Il and his communications satellite aspirations.

The satellite appears to have communicated something to the International Community (tm), one way or another! Obviously it is a success.
The World Wide Web is dying. Soon, we shall have only the Internet.
Kim Jong Il: Now you see, the changing of the worrd is inevitabre!
Lisa: I'm sorry, it's what?
Kim Jong Il: Inevit, inevitabre.
Lisa: One more time.
Kim Jong Il: [shouts] Inevitabre! Things are inevitabrey going to change! Goddamnit, open your f**king ears!
Today's vices may be tomorrow's virtues.
