Demonstrated is why Rush Limbaugh must preach without providing details and numbers. Details expose logical and factual errors. N Korea has an ability to launch a missile against Japan. Whether that missile can carry a warhead is questioned. But it is only where extremists promote hype and fear that "N Korea has missiles that can reach our shores". N Korea is far from that threat. Nor is that the intent for developing such weapons.
Meanwhile it is this very limited N Korean ability that only recently anti-missile defense systems are being deployed in Japan. N Korea may have that ability launch a warhead at Japan in some years.
Don't forget reasons why both Iran and N Korea have actively promoted nuclear programs. Now that containment is not American policy - now that America will unlaterally invade nations without justified reasons - now that the US has outrightly stated intent to invade both Iran and N Korea - now that the George Jr administration subverted and destroyed previous programs to politically neotiate peaceful solutions. Why then would any sane nation not build nuclear weapons? Right wing military extemists get the war they want - to justify their anti-humanity perspective. It is why pre-emption is so dangerous to all Americans - and is so empowering to those who promote war.
Iran will go nuclear because only an insane nation in their position would not. The US has announced intentions to invade N Korea and Iran - which is why preemption only promotes rightwing extremist political agendas on all sides at the expensive of good people.
