North Korea's Celebrates U.S. Independence!: Fires Seven Short Range Missiles!!

Kim Jung IL sends his regards!

The Korean madman dictator made good on his government's threat to launch missiles on the fourth of July, though the fireworks display was less impressive than first expected.

North Korea fired up to seven short-range missiles out to sea with an estimated range of up to 500 miles, capable of hitting targets in South Korea. However, the government's boasting of a long-range missile test, perhaps capable of reaching Alaska and Hawaii didn't come to fruition. However, the North Koreans announced by testing schedule which could last until July 10th, so more surprises could be in order.

So, how do we negotiate with North Korea who is displays this show of military aggression for more aid and to advertise its missile arsenal to the highest bidder? In this tense atmosphere, how will get sentenced journalists Euna Lee and Laura Ling back to the States?

No good clues for diplomacy and no good answers as to its result. Normally, more of the same.



"Fireworks!"
