I can't believe this guy - Kim Jong-Il is doing this when half the country is starving. This is not good for the stability of the region. South Korea and Japan are particularly vulnerable. With all the attention focused on Iran, this happens and could be a much greater threat. I'm sure the United Nations will send Kim a strongly worded email lol..

Frankly the final word is not in yet: it could have been a large conventional explosion...I have not even seen an estimated explosive yield for the event yet....we should not jump to conclusions, even though they also tested a short range missile.

Good thing when he dies, he wants to just pass off control to his military leaders.

I know we should save a few bucks and kill missile defense.
