N. Korea Launches Long-Range Rocket


United States officials confirm that North Korea appears to have carried out the successful launch of a long-range rocket.
The move comes as a surprise to the international community, which has consistently called on North Korea to abandon its efforts.
Less than 24 hours earlier, the North Koreans had indicated they were grappling with "technical uncertainties" that forced them to extend the launch window to Dec. 29.
The secretive regime insists its efforts are part of a peaceful space program intended to place a satellite into orbit.

NK can't feed its population, serves only as a contrast between the liberty of its southern neighbor and it's own Orwellian despotism, yet it keeps doing this sort of thing. Not even China supports its missile program at this point.

China was quick to condemn North Korea's rocket launch but the feat would not have been possible without China's technical support and unmarked trucks loaded with components of ballistic missiles have reportedly crossed the border to North Korea and it's in the national interest of China to have a strong buffer state.

Include Pakistan, Iran and Russia's involvement in helping N. Korea too.
