North Korean missile launch

Sometime in April, North Korea wants to put a communication satellite into space, and are using a missile to test it. The U.N., U.S., and many other countries are telling North Korea not to launch the missile. Some even said that they will shoot the missile down if North Korea launches it. North Korea said that would be an act of war.

Barack Obama has said that he will not shoot the missile down if it is launched. I think that was a good idea. The U.S. certainly does not need another war, especially with the economy the way it is. Many say that North Korea is just using the satellite as a cover-up for testing ICBMs. The way I see it, even if it is a cover up, this time around is just a test. If North Korea is out to get someone with nukes, they only thing they need to worry about is making sure the missile makes it out of North Korea.
