NKorea reasserts right to satellite launch

Article said:
]North Korea has declared its intention to send a communications satellite into space between April 4 and 8, and a defense analyst said recent images of the launch pad indicated preparations were continuing. Regional powers suspect the North will use the launch to test its long-range missile technology, and has warned Pyongyang the launch would trigger international sanctions.

Does anyone believe the NK government for a second? A communications satellite? How can they justify such an obvious lie given that it is illegal for NK citizens to even own cell phones and watch satellite t.v.?

A 2006 UN Resolution forbids NK from engaging in the development of ballistic missile technology. While such technology would not be a direct threat to Europe or the U.S., both would suffer effects if the technology was used to disrupt the regional economic forces in Asia.
 
Maybe if we send the shuttle up there and paste a US flag on it, the Chinese will shoot it down. :mrgreen:

A UN resolution and a $1.50 will buy you a Coke in some places. :roll:

Someone might want to inform the UN that N.Korea already has the missile, and is working on the warhead now.
