N. Korea fires missle over Japan

North Korea fired a long-range rocket over Japan on Sunday, provoking international outrage and triggering an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council as it succeeded in grabbing the world's attention. The reclusive communist state's official media said a satellite had been launched into orbit, and it was now circling the earth transmitting revolutionary songs. But both the U.S. military and South Korea said nothing had entered orbit.



U.S. President Barack Obama said the U.N. Security Council should deliver a strong message to North Korea for what analysts believe was effectively a test of a ballistic missile designed to carry a warhead potentially as far as Alaska.

Wait a minute: wasn't North Korea involved in such activities because of George W. Bush? Wasn't the world going to immediately become a safe place once LinkObama became president? How can this be that North Korea and Iran are still pursuing such weaponry with Obama in the White House?
