You haven't all forgotten about Iran have you? There is a "red line" they are going to pass with their nuclear technological advancements, that both the US and Israel have agreed to use military force to stop.
This is a distraction technique used a lot throughout history, both national and international. In this case, North Korea is distracting the international community while the US and Israel prepare for an attack on Iran, and possibly anything that might follow.
Hopefully both of these situations don't fall to their worst case scenario (war, possibly nuclear war), because everyone should know that the United States really just can't afford another war. And I'd bet the public is tired of hearing about too.
Anyways, this is mostly a reminder that there will be something boiling over in Iran any time now until the end of the year.

Edited by Buona Sera: 4/5/2013 1:33:31 AMNorth Korea is crazy. Anyone in the US should not be worried about being attacked by them. Personally I don't see them doing anything, but the people we should be worried [i]for[/i] are South Korea and Japan. As for Iran... let's hope things don't go south. Then again, when you think about it, it's not very fair that our foreign policy is "only we can have nukes because we're America and you're not". At least in this case we're trying to keep them out of the hands of a mad man. I would suggest diplomacy and niceness work better than force and covertly starting insurrection. But at this point, I'm just preaching to the choir.
