Hmm, i see that the launch took place just hours before the inauguration of the new ROK President.
Ironical - he was elected on "wave of anti-US sentiment" according to the BBC. Quote:

Of the handful of things about which I could currently be worrying (were I to worry about anything, that is) North Korea is certainly not on that list. This is simply a case of grand-standing; a pathetic attempt to focus world attention on themselves. *yawn* Whatever.
I will give the North Koreans one kudo, though--they haven't imploded despite decades of being hard-line Stalinists. That is probably stubbornness, though....

Just a bit of fireworks to celebrate the inauguration(sp?) of the new SK president
It was a 'silk-worm' missile (range ca. 100 km.)

Silkworm... is an anti-ship missle. If it had been an ICBM then they would have the full attention of the USA and the News as well as all the anti-US folks in South Korea. SK is an ally of the USA and personally I think it would be stupid of them to remove the forces we have there at present. US troops man portions of the DMZ.
The UN?... They will say they "deplore the incident" and draft a really blistering, limp wristed, powerless resolution saying NO! NO! NO! Bad North Koreans! BAD! It's what they do best. North Korea...They are very hard line Stalinists and until the Polit-Bureau is starving they will not change. The people can starve. They are all just peasants you know. (Heavy Sarcasm there!!) It's all about total power over everyone in the state. Not whats good for the state or the people in it. They don't give a fiddlers damn about anything, but power.
