Where's the Outrage?

It seems like it’s always something when it comes to us (America). Can someone please tell me why North Korea is accusing Washington of attempting to “provoke a second Korean War”? I would say this country has enough on its plate and hopefully U.S. officials feel the same way.

Both regional and U.S. authorities have been keeping a close eye on North Korea searching for signs of the country possibly firing short or mid range missiles in the up coming weeks. Recent reports show that North Korea may be preparing to fire its most advanced missile yet in our direction around Independence Day. Now who seems to be looking for a second Korean war now?

It seems as if North Korea is feeling persecuted in spite of the fact that they are the aggressor. The UN sanctions, in my opinion, are more than justified.

Thank goodness the US is preparing for the possibility of North Korea following through on their threats. It is reported that the US Military has set up a ground based missile system as well as a nearby radar system for additional defenses around Hawaii. Both of these devices combined can shoot an incoming missile in mid air. Now I do feel a little safer in knowing that.

It wasn’t that long ago when we saw North Korea began to dismantle one of their nuclear facilities. The American press made a big deal out of this diplomatic effort. That seems so long ago now.

It was reported by one Japanese paper that North Korea may launch a Taepodong–2 missile that has potential to reach up to 4,000 miles. Keep in mind Hawaii is approximately 4,500 miles from North Korea. With that being said, if North Korea attempts to ruin America’s Independence Day, hopefully the missile launch will fail just like a similar long range missile attempt on July 4th by the North Koreans three years ago.

The question of the year is, can we all just get along?
