Is This Necessary North Korea?

North Korea announced Tuesday that it was planning on sending a missile into orbit which US and South Korea officials believe could hit parts of North America. Hilary Rodham Clinton, the U.S's secretary of state, and South Korea's Yu Myung-hwan met and urged the north not to put this test into action. They called it "provocative" and "unhelpful". Mrs. Clinton called it's government a tyranny and offered to help normalize ties and assist with economics if it abandoned it's nuclear program. Many people think that this missile is absurd and funny.

How come a country that can not even feed it's own people put so much money into a space program? I also believe that North Korea should not be allowed to put millions in potential danger. What if that missile hit the U.S.A? What if it hit Newark, New Jersey? Newark is a home to millions of gallons of oil. If a missile were to hit Newark, the entire tri-state area and then some would be blown to smithereens.  It is unnecessary for North Korea to do this, and it is also a risky move. This could put them as the most hated country in the world if it destroyed a lot of land, which could cut off the help they receive from other countries, leaving them broke, needy, and positively putrid. As a citizen of North America, I would not like my homeland in danger, and personally, would not allow it. Action must be taken on this immediately. If that missile hits North America, or the U.S.A, politics will laugh at Obama for not taking action on a deadly threat. How do you think that would make the U.S.A look. We would be an embarrassment to the the world!
