It's only going to get worse. All the UN sanctions in the world mean nothing unless they are backed up with action. Here in lies the problem: Generally you have two types of nations: the cowards(i.e. Franch, Italy, Germany) who will not stand up to thugs like Kim Jong Il and sit back waiting for the U.S. to handle the problem (which those same cowardly nations comdemn us for when we do handle it) and those nations with dictators that take full advantage of the aforemention cowardly nations.

We have not tested any nuclear weapons in quite some time,I think it's time to do so and I have the test area in mind!

I agree sometimes we don't have to be in everyones business.

Maybe if OUR country would quit worrying about the freedom that people in other countries do or don't have, we wouldn't be at odds with so many people. We need to keep our noses in our backyards, we're already at war with one another here on the streets, we don't need to go across the world and seas to start more fighting.

No need to panic people...the U.S. Military is has far more advanced technology than N. Korea..they are probably watching Kim Jong Il eat dinner at this very moment.

Emma and Michelle I think you have forgotten or not done research on the stress between our two nations. Nuking sounds good until they did it to us, besides it has been our president who has stood by and done nothing.

I think we need to remind North Korea of what we did to Nagasaki and Hiroshima.

Why don't we get the innocent folks out of N. Korea and then just bomb the manure out of N. Korea? Seems reasonable to me and would more than likely save lives in the future, instead of waiting for a real missile to be successful.
