Korean Missile Launch Not Imminent

Despite threats, the U.S. doesn’t see any signs that North Korea is prepared to test-launch a long-range ballistic missile capable of landing near the Hawaiian Islands, officials say.

The assessment of North Korea's current situation contrasts with evidence seen earlier this year, before the country's failed April 5 launch: At that time, commercial and intelligence satellites tracked preparations to assemble and fuel a three-stage Taepodong-2 missile, the officials said.

Totalitariansim/Democracy split aside: there is now way any government can justify the rule of a retarded regime over its people. The existence of N. Korea is proof of China's complicity in evil just as are the transgressions of American "good" intentions..
