Get ready, it's coming soon...
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,510861,00.html QUOTE Japan's defense minister ordered the military to prepare to shoot down any debris that could fall on Japanese territory if a North Korean rocket launch fails, mobilizing interceptor missiles and sending two warships to the Sea of Japan.
... North Korea has mounted a rocket on a launch pad on its northeast coast, American intelligence officials say, putting Pyongyang well on track for a launch the U.S. and South Korea warned Thursday would be a major provocation with serious consequences. ... North Korea has warned it will retaliate against any country attempting to intercept the satellite. |

It still depends on the Koreans, the Navy and Raytheon big shots wagging their dicks at each other.

So apparently they launched and nobody did anything. Looks like conflicting stories on what happened (whether or not there was a satellite)

s. korean news says it was a satellite...but it failed to orbit.

yes i'm in seoul. seriously though, koreans here aren't the least bit worried about this stuff.
they think its rather silly that the international community is talking it up so much. honestly i've never been that worried about the situation, but if the north keeps talking about nuclear war like they did a couple days ago, then i'll have to consider my options. i hope they'd at least wait until july. thats my vacation. -------------------- |

and like always, nobody even talks about it here in the south. it's like no big deal.
they're way more concerned with the suicide of the last president. it's huge here. -------------------- |

i don't know
it's kind of strange when things like that happen to important people....you usually have to be strong willed to be in such a high leadership position like that i think he was killed -------------------- "Ah, y'know it's funny, these people they go to sleep, they think everything's fine, everything's good.

Yeah the tensions don't seem to be relieving much... and I heard on the radio this morning that they're still warning ships to stay away from their east coast...
