Thanks Don. I agree with that line

"I seriously doubt N. Korea would ever launch a first strike nuclear weapon against any country, unless they were attacked first, because they know it would be the end of their country. It would be just a suicide effort."

because it makes perfect sense. They will go nuclear if and only if (that's a biconditional implication) they witness or sense N. Korea's impending destruction.

In the meantime, they will continue to develop and launch missiles that come closer and closer to us, just to show they can make the point they are making (which is an odd way to state it, but true :) ).

So what I wonder is: what will the effect of this be on

a) the markets
b) our politics, and
c) our gung-ho defense establishment?
