As North Korea fuels up their multi-stage rocket, the leaders of several nations (including the US) have issued stern warnings against Kim Jong Il and his dreams of joining the Nuclear Club.

I dont get the usa or the uk or any country saying to another country you cant have x, y and z.
Countries are independant of each other and thats the way it should be, when countries start medling in other countries affairs wars start.
Now I aint saying nukes are right or wrong unfortunatly they are a fact of life and a terrible fact of life,
but what right has any country to say to another country what it can and cant have or do, its like saying I an a democracy but you can do this lol.
Or saying to your kids you cant have a chocolate easter egg, then you eating one in front of them.
Obviously abit more serious than a easter egg but hope you get my point.

Nuclear weapons are a whole other ballpark. One nuclear weapon is capable of doing horrendous damage to people, infrastructure, and has lasting environmental damage. I don't care about stable nations like France or the UK having nuclear weapons, but when states that sponsor terrorism and have leaders like Iran and North Korea start carrying these weapons, we are not only in danger of them using the weapons, but of them sharing these weapons with terrorists. When that happens it's already too late.

I agree with Taskr, Benny. Not all nations are responsible enough to play with the Big Toys and shouldn't be allowed to have them because they present a danger to others. As a global community, every nation has the right to speak out against and to take action against a serious potential threat such as a nuclear weapon in the hands of an irresponsible government or one that supports terrorism.
For Japan to take the steps it has in positioning it's warships and activating it's missile defense system, they definitely perceive the threat from North Korea to be real and serious.

After a meeting between the President and the Leader of South Korea they said that they agreed on a responce. South Korea issued a stern warning that North Korea should not launch the rocket or there would be very grave conquences. The US followed with a statement that there would be conquences, not as strong as the South Koreans.
Will this be the "test" that VP Biden refered to before the election? If so how do you think the President will react?

Another example of the waste of time, resources and lives "ceasefires" are.

This will be a test, yes, but I believe Japan will be the first to react by shooting the rocket down and the U.S. and South Korea will stand with them while North Korea makes threats. That's why U.S. and South Korean warships have moved into the Sea of Japan to stand ready along with the Japanese warships. A shipment of US made Patriot missiles recently arrived in Japan and their missile defense system has been activated so my money is on Japan.
