North Korea Could be Planning Missile Launch

 This pretty tense stuff, what are they thinking?  On one hand what we hear and what actually goes on are two different things.  Events of the past let us know that we can not necessarily trust our government or our media.  That being said the question, “What are they thinking?” (Ref to North Korea’s actions) is still valid.  We are in a situation where a country with nuclear capabilities is being ruled by a nut, or at the very least, a young man with limited experience to have such power.  I am inclined to reflect on this situation and think “Power without wisdom is a dangerous thing”.  Assuming everything we are hearing is correct and we have all the information (which may not be true) this guy has a whole lot of power and no wisdom.  Consequently that region of the world may be in for serious global affecting issues.

 With every increase in aggressive rhetoric from North Korea comes increasing responses from the United States and South Korea.  The South Koreans and the US have no choice but to respond with the most aggressive actions possible because at the very least Kim Jung and North Korea are testing the waters to see where the line in the sand is.  The fact that they are playing this game in to begin with makes one question the wisdom of North Koreas leadership (assuming what we hear in the media is correct).
