It is somewhat reassuring that the North Korean offensive missiles don't seem to work any better than our defensive ones.

the reason the test was dangerous is because it allows north korea to gather data that enables it to learn and fix the problem. It would be foolish to think that the 'failure' means there is nothing to be afraid of.

Of course it would be foolish, which is why the idea that there is nothing to be afraid of will be wholeheartedly embraced by liberals everywhere.

It would be nice if we engaged NK in a friendly wager: will we be able to shoot down their missile when the latter will finally fly? To win, NK must deliver a missile to the vicinity of Aleutian Islands (not too close), unless we shoot the missile down.
Yearly competitions will keep the respective boondogles honest.
