North Korea Saber Rattling

The news was a buzz over the weekend about North Korea planning to test a missile that could reach the U.S. CNN just reported: "Bush administration official says North Korea has finished fueling a long-range ballistic missile that could reach the U.S., a sign the country could soon test the weapon, The Associated Press reports." I don't like it, but I sure understand it. In his 2002 State of the Union speech, Bush referred to Iran, Iraq, and North Korea as an "axis of evil." Since then, we have invaded Iraq and threatened Iran if it goes forward with nuclear weapons. If I'm in charge of North Korea, a sovereign nation, I think I would build up my defense systems as well.
