Possibly problematic, as I imagine it's really a missile, not a rocket...

I don't think it'll happen, but we'll see. I think the launch will take place, there will be no intervention, and there will be much huffing and puffing (i.e. "stop launching rockets or else we'll tell you to stop again!")

I find it curious that Gates says we can do nothing about North Korea's nukes but insists we can sanction Iran out of using them - I guess the Japanese lobby simply isn't powerful enough as yet to place the US Congress in its pocket.

This means that North Korea has now reached the level in rocket science that the Soviet Union had in the 1950s. We give them much too much attention.

Iran is run by a bit of a theocratic nutcase, but he also seems to be genuinely interested in developing Iran into a local power.
NK is run by a theocratic nutcase, who wouldn't give a damn if economic sanctions ran his country into the ground.
The average Iranian is far, far better off than the average North Korean.

Still decidedly intermediate - don't take my guesses as authoritative.

Agreed completely.

I am not sure how you can give a country that holds most of its people in starvation and prison too much attention. If anything it seems that most of the world chooses to hide its head in the sand and says go away.
Attention=The act or state of applying the mind to an object.
Giving attention is not giving respect or honor. North Korea is just not a teenage bully that one should ignore, it is a country that commits genocide.

Before you fall prey to the hawkish propaganda about the evils of Iran, you should understand that Iran is not run by its President - Iran is run by a group of mullahs and regardless of the rhetoric from the Iranian President, he can't do anything because he is not in control of the armed forces- unlike the US, the President of Iran is not the in the top spot and he is not the commander-in-chief.
