2. Now what?
We run around, wring our hands, watch pundit after pundit on the corporate media news-fo-tainment channels go off about the godless commies for a few weeks, yada yada yada.

Like all the previous things North Korea has done, this is to draw the attention of the world. Kim Jong-Il hates not being in the news. Even the timing of the fucking launch demonstrates this; they actually launched when they did, at the perfect time for it to be the hot topic in the Sunday morning talk shows.

Although the conspiracy theorist in me, wonders how much the bankers shipped off to Kim Jong-Il, to launch this at just the perfect time to push how bad they are fucking the whole world right now, off of the news shows for a few days.

4. North Korea
is so isolationist and loco that they believe this kind of thing is the only way the rest of the world will give it any aid. That country is just as fucked up as Burma only they have a military.

5. What goes up must come down?
I'm assuming it is not a trick question :rofl:

Now what? Ten thousand pundits comment
in 237 languages everywhere on the world,
except in North Korea, where noone knows
what any one of them wrote, and noone cares.
