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!
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.
Any latest news about what is happening would be appreciated.
Currently, the place where you are has NOT yet been nuked by north korea.
Well, the previous administration wanted us to believe Iraq had nuclear weapons when they invaded. Does that count?

Are you sure that's a good idea ?
That would probably be a pretty big boom.

...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.
