N Korea, what's the real story?

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009...issiles-nukes/

Is their leader nuts and that's it's that simple? (I think this is a small part of the drama)

Is this the Chinese testing Obie by proxy? (my guess)

Should we board the ship without authority? ( I don't think Obama would do that)

Methinks its a combination of 1 & 2. Kim Yuck Foo is prolly looney-tunes, & the Chicoms are undoubtedly enjoying rattling The Annointed One's cage a bit. As to 3, I think yeah, maybe we ought to & call The Gargoyle's bluff about it being an act of war. We kinda DO have the authority, looks to me like anyhow, 'cause of the UN resolutions. Plus, we MIGHT stop a shipment of a nuke reactor or something destined for Iran...

As I understand it under the UN resolution we have no right to board the ship. Hence I believe Obie will not as he has made honoring international law important.

Well, then...As usual, the UN resolutions/sanctions/whatever are about as worthwhile as a screen-door on a submarine...But if Hung Chow sends a missile towards Hawaii, as its rumoured he's planning to do 4 July, well, maybe we oughta treat him to his very own personal Firecracker Show...
