July 4th Special fire

By now you must all have known about the plans of North Korea firing a missile towards Hawaii around July 4th Holiday, according to Japanese intelligence reports. The missile that North Korea is planning to test or fire is the Taepodong-2 which has the maximum reach of about 8000 KM, which means it could strike Hawaii, which is about 6000KM from North Korea. But the experts in missile launching say that the missile would fall short by about 500 miles before reaching Hawaii. Does that mean we take a gamble and have to wait and see if the missile misses Hawaii or not? The US has taken precautionary measures by deploying defensive measures around Hawaii. So even if the missile is launched for testing purposes and even if the test fails and the trajectory is towards Hawaii, our defensive mechanisms can intercept and destroy the missile in air, even before it reaches Hawaii. Why gamble with the millions of lives in the Hawaiian soil? That seems to be a logical step to take.


North Korea had issued a warning to mariners to avoid certain areas in the Sea of Japan on certain days while tests will be conducted. If it was their intention to attack, why bother to broadcast their testing plans to others? If North Korea wants to test and improve their nuclear power, there is so much resistance from other countries. But USA, UK, Russia and China have been the leaders of nuclear power and no one seems to raise a finger when they want to conduct tests. North Korea has China on the West and Japan and Hawaii on the East. If it has to test its long-range missile power, it cannot send the missile towards the vast China and it had to fire on the East towards the ocean. While I do agree that there is a danger of the test failing and hitting Japan or Hawaii (the test has to be overly successful to reach Hawaii), I am sure they are not going to fire directly towards the land but instead be directed towards the waters. If North Korea wants to wage a war against the US, which is the leader in the nuclear power, that would be a dumb move, since US could bring down North Korea in minutes and make it a footnote in history pages.


But whether North Korea does short, medium or long range tests, why is US interfering? If we have the treat of being attacked, strengthen the warfare and leave it at that. Why bother to interfere with supporting South Korea? All we have ever done is to interfere in other countries business. We could be having military bases in any country we feel like, we could be invading or destroying countries in the name of finding Bin Laden, but no one can ever express resentment. What was our business in Iraq when Bin Laden is hiding in the mountains of Afghanistan? Now that Iraq is destroyed, we need to have our people and money to run their country? Same thing holds good with Vietnam War. Now US is waiting to put its nose in Korean war? With the economy going down the drain, unemployment at the maximum rate that we have ever seen, poor health care systems and most of America handed over to China, all we need now is to coddle in Korean war. Be prepared to disengage the missiles if it accidentally fails and don’t over blow the situation on hand.
