Rocket Launch

A Failed North Korean Rocket Launch (April 13, 2012)

Let us first examine the facts first prior to the delivery of our commentaries.

1.       North Korea is a nuclear powered country.

2.       North Korea is under the rule of a dictator.

3.       North Korea is a poor country.

4.       North Korea is unstable politically.

North Korea with its nuclear technology is the guilty country why Iran is also a nuclear powered country.  It is an open secret that North Korea already is in possession of a weapons grade nuclear material.  With the attempted launch, North Korea is just trying to develop the necessary technology for the “delivery system” of its nuclear material.  Without a delivery technology, a nuclear weapon is only half effective.

There is no democracy in North Korea, in fact, North Korea is an enemy of democracy.  Nokor is already in the third generational rule of a dictator, with a new dictator at the helm, the ploy is just to flex its muscle and call the attention of the world that it if worse comes to worst, it has a weapon of mass destruction.  The open secret here is that it was Nokor that sold the nuclear technology to Iran.  Just imagine if North Korea gets to master rocket technology and sells the know-how to Iran?

People are dying of hunger in North Korea.  Almost 80% of its wealth is dedicated to the use of its armed forces.  The remaining 20% is spent on everything else.

North Korea is unstable politically because it is a victim of its own creation.  The armed forces is under the thumb of the dictator but fear is effective only up to a certain level, the moment fear is no longer effective, murder takes center stage and we hear nothing of this because of the veil of secrecy and suppression is not really advertised in that region.

Taken as a whole, the failure of North Korea this morning is also a success.  It is a certainty that they have learned a lot from such failure and we must take note of the maxim that “failure is just a rehearsal for success”.  Yes, Nokor failed today but it is only a matter of time before their current failure is inverted to a resounding success.

The scenario is like this, you have an unfriendly neighbor who is in possession of a gun, what are you going to do about it?  And now, your unfriendly neighbor is not just in possession of a gun, but is actually test firing his gun.  Are you going to call the authorities or are you going to do something about it?

Some people are just assholes and North Korea is just an unlucky country with its very own asshole administration and government.

Now such is the problem, what is now the solution?  Surprisingly, the solution is engagement and not isolation.  North Korean themselves should have an more exposure to democracy.  The moment that democracy takes root; all the other problems will be solved.  Through engagement and education, the very idea of majority rules (or democracy) will slay ignorance and poverty.  The rest as they say will be history. 

It is either the world engages North Korea or a simple surgical bombing of selected sites that could cripple Nokor is called into action and put into play.  There is no middle ground here, either we infect and destroy North Korea internally or externally, or the continuance of the status quo will only bring a widespread  of asshole actions from North Korea.
