Defend North Korea!

So North Korea chucks some missiles into the sea and the world is in uproar. Apparently this is aggressive behaviour. That's about as rich as Gretel Killeen's claims that Merlin Luck's silent protest on Big Brother 4 was aggressive. North Korea is far more scared of the world than the world is of North Korea – and with good reason, since the American jackal is sniffing at its door.

Sure, the domestic conditions in North Korea may be pretty bad (I have no opinion on this issue, as I have no information I regard as reliable from either side). This really has nothing to do with it. Domestic conditions in many places are very bad, and this furore clearly isn't about those. It's a childish wail that someone who doesn't like us is capable of defending themselves.
