"Kim Jong Il still has a fondness for a decent Fourth of July fireworks show. Pyongyang shot at least seven short-range SCUD missiles in the direction of the Sea of Japan on Saturday morning, in what some analysts termed an act of "defiance" against the United States and its allies in east Asia."

According to this article, "The chief of the U.S. naval forces, Admiral Gary Roughhead, blandly observed that American and allied ships in the region were simply "tracking the missiles" and "observing the activities that are going on." "

The article further goes on to say, "The low-key response was entirely appropriate, given Kim's past behavior on the big U.S. holiday. On July 4 2006, he test fired - unsuccessfully, it turned out - a long-range, multi-stage ballistic missile, in explicit defiance of a U.N. resolution. By comparison, today's exercise felt a bit like a teenager tossing a few M-80s into the water off a dock somewhere."

Sounds like sort of a laissez faire approach.

i think the more attention we pay to em, the better he likes it and the more he can puff out his chest and look like a world power.

he's a lil fish that could be plucked from his pond quickly if it was called for.

i say let em act out.

if it get's serious, the world knows what to do.
