SEOUL, Feb 4 (Reuters) - North Korea may be preparing to use the site of its previous ballistic missile launches on the east coast to fire its longest range missile, possibly toward Japan, news reports said on Wednesday.
The missile reports follow threats directed at Seoul and Washington, which analysts said are meant to intimidate conservative South Korean President Lee Myung-bak and grab the attention of new U.S. President Barack Obama.

Invade it from the NORTH for fark sake. Put it to an end, it's been long due.
Make a combined China-Russia-US bombers operations coming from the north so Seoul isn't wiped out. And make treaties so Korea is united under no influence from NATO or China.
We no longer can let die people in NK of starvation and we can let them run wild.
Make it looks like it's a Chinese operation so NK don't retaliate on Seoul.

"In the case of Iran, one of the biggest concerns we've always had is that any country that can put a satellite into orbit has thereby demonstrated that they can send a nuclear weapon to intercontinental distances," said Rick Lehner, a spokesman of the US Missile Defense Agency. SpaceDaily

Iran just launched a payload into orbit aka an ICBM. Funny how the media didn't go into chicken little mode before Iran's launch, considering North Korea's launch is still a month or more away and virtually the same technology.

Yeah. And it seems like we (the U.S.) allowed Iran to go ahead, very strange...
People have said the N. Korea is the most important danger to deal with. I find this confusing because, although they are erratic, they do actually talk with us, and sometimes they do comply on some level.
Whereas, with Iran we haven't been talking (directly) at all.
I don't think there is really anything anyone can do about Iran, or N. Korea.
