"Fascinating"?

Lindy — 7/4/2006 11:26:01 PM (archived)

I was almost having a good day until I turned on the TV.
The news-hungry media is already feeding us the fear mongering and building this into a crescendo when the world hasn't yet had the time to discuss and re-act. I think the North Korean leader timed it with the launch on purpose, as a signal. I think he's just showing us he's in training, similiar to a crazy neighbour shooting off his guns while you're shooting off firecrackers.
Is he truly dangerous? if we have him contained, why provoke anything?
Let's wait for the other countries to weigh in.

I'd like to think he was just trying to celebrate the Fourth right along with us....;~)
