North Korea has notified international agencies of its plan to launch its Gwangmyeongseong-2 satellite between April 4-8, Seoul officials said yesterday.
The two launch coordinates named by the North are in the East Sea and in the Pacific, they said.
http://www.koreaherald.co.kr/NEWKHSITE/data/html_dir/2009/03/13/200903130053.asp
Unification Minister Hyun In-taek said yesterday he viewed what North Korea claims to be a satellite launch as a missile test.
"Though there is no hard evidence to prove it, circumstantial evidence, including situations in the North, has led me to judge (that it is a missile test),"
ALSO
The North cut off military communication lines with the South on Monday, severing all channels of dialogue with the South and blocking roads between the two Koreas.

I wasn't worried at all until I saw the dates in that subject line.
My flight home is on the 4th.  |

If the Norks tell the world it's a satellite but turns out to be a missile test launch with an ocean splashdown, they'll incur sanctions. They know this. If it turns out to be a missile launch with a real-world target, they're inviting war. They know this, too.

Last time they launched a test missile, they used the same excuse. That was no satellite.... |

| Let's hope they're not going to send anything bad our way. Someone needs to just go up there and kick their butts and put that regime out of commission. |

It's actually shameful it wasn't done a long time ago. Millions of people have starved to death. Millions more are impoverished.
Kim Jong Il, I believe, is playing a dangerous game of chicken. He either will get cash, oil or food OR he'll get a war. He problably doesn't care either way. The closer he gets to dying, the more dangerous he becomes. Nothing to lose. Leave this planet with a blaze of glory. |
