Well we all maybe seeing what happens in a very short few ! One thing is for certin ! Yuck,Yuck,Yuck and two fingers in the eyes wont excuse
a really bad launch gone haywire and crashing onto a populated area !
Who ya gonna call when that happens?
The Kim-chee busters? Or better yet let them keep trying to prefect a real delivery system for all the world to worrie about .
I would like to think they will just pop one on the pad and give up !

I think Japan has to do it,but they might err on the side of good will.
Dunno.Did you look at the link I posted ?
3 anti missile apparatus ,in Tokyo. Is assume they can disable anything over the entire country ,but I'm wondering why they didn't set stuff up either down near hiroshima,and up by sapporo.

I looked at the link.  It seems to me that the North really want to soft sell this because they need the info for their missile program.  Their weapons are the only thing keeping them in power and they understand that.  It's only a matter of time until they perfect a system and mate a nuke to it that will cause great concern in this country.  I think they believe they will be able to coerce the West into accepting them at the table of nations and even to feed and maintain them in power once they can threaten nuclear annihilation on most any country on earth.  They seem screwy to me but I still believe they are rationally motivated.  We'll soon see, I guess.

China is asking the rest of the world,to have restraint....

Not surprising given that China is North Korea's only ally. Though over the years they've been getting more and more annoyed.

[and then]

If the test is allowed to go forward unhindered - which will be the case imo - NK will have proven that they either have an intercontinental capacity to deliver a warhead or they'll prove their not there yet.  I have no idea how long it takes to miniaturize warheads to a deliverable size but NK has had a lot of time to puzzle the problem.  The more disturbing aspect of all of this is that they and Iran are close partners in this science.

Japan readied its missile defence systems to shoot down a North Korean rocket on Friday,
The nuclear-armed North has announced it will launch a rocket in mid-April to put a satellite into orbit, a move that the United States, South Korea and other nations see as a pretext for a long-range missile test banned by the UN.

Fireworks to be seen then no doubt if you live there!

Gassing her up !

[and then]

There seems to be some emphasis placed on whether it's a satellite or not and I don't understand why they think it matters.  If the payload is a satellite that is approximately the same size and weight of a nuclear warhead then the test results will be golden for them.
Not wishing death on any of their technicians cause they're just doing a job, but I hope it blows spectacularly on the pad

[ColoradoParanormal]

From a military stand point, this is a worst case scenario,  tactically we (UN, US and Allied Forces) do not want North Korea and/or other countries ran by extremists to have these capabilities. Unfortunately, our military is constantly held by diplomatic "non sense." We, Military Personnel, have one job. Keep you, the citizen, safe. When our hands are constantly tied by bleeding hearts that job becomes absurdly difficult.

If NK succeeds in this launch of a "Satellite," it will mark a rather disturbing milestone for them and us.

A double face palm moment for the "glorious" leader's rocket boys.

Kind of surprised North Korea admitted failure instead of trying to blame it on someone else.

I've grown so accustomed to their deceptions that I just assumed the whole launch hoopla might have been made up for another purpose.  There is evidence that they might be about to test another nuke underground (thankfully).  Perhaps they wanted a fallback position in case of a rocket failure or maybe they wanted to give the impression that, after a successful launch, they were refining a device to sit on top of their new and improved delivery vehicle.
It's made me begin to wonder what effect it will have when they eventually do master the science and prove they can deliver a payload into orbit.  Recent history has shown them they can expect concessions from the West if they threaten war.  Once they have a reliable system to make good on such a threat, will they show restraint or go for broke?  
I hope that anti-ballistic missile technology continues to improve.

Not sure blowing nukes underground is a better choice, i.e. earthquakes, tsunamis..

You would think that the Kim Sr & Kim Jr dynasty would have managed to perfection the technique of blowing up a stray missile by getting their experts to press the red button that says PUSH, WHEN THE SH.. HITS THE FAN (obviously in Korean).

In an seriously embarrassing blow,Japans defense system also failed.
All this precaution,and no one communicates.
