Can somebody fill me in on what is happening in Korea?

My only news source right now is Fox.

Sounds very scary.

1. Much ado about nothing

Bush is in no position to do anything about North Korea's missile test.

Bush broke treaties, North Korea is going to break a treaty.

We're back to tit-for-tat diplomacy that didn't work during the Cold war.

2. north korea is going to test a two stage

liquid fueled missile so japan is very-very upset because it will fly over japan. the missile -could- hit cities across the west coast of the usa if it was a lucky shot but no one knows what kind of soft and hardware korea has to target cities over long distance. liquid vs solid fuel is another problem but i won`t bother with that. they claim to have a three stage missile that could hit the east coast but as yet no one knows if they do.
japan,china,russia,s korea,usa are all in talks about how to delay this missile test to pacify japan and south korea.the problem is that no one knows if they were actually going to launch or it is a bluff.

ya it is scary cause this guy does have real missiles unlike saddam`s imaginary ones....
