North Korea is not a target, and wont be a target regardless of what they do, short of blowing up NY or attacking South Korea with everything it has. China wont let North Korea become part of the South and there is no way we will attack North Korea with China watching their backs, forget it.
A few sanctions here and there to show we are not "happy happy", while still making up for their losses with plenty of aid, so the Korean leaders can continue to spend money on arms instead of feeding the people, is about as far as we will go.
Of course, we can still attack Iran without anyone really getting in our way and keep the chaos going in the Middle East and other neighbouring countries.
I used to think that it would be great if North Korea would just open their borders and end all the fighting with the South, let all the people and broken families get back together and travel free between the North and the South. North Korea would boom and everyone could live in peace and be happy.
Well, it took me a while, but I came to beleive that this would never happen, it can't happen, China would not allow it, and the West doesn't want peace in that region.
Increased sanctions on the DPRK is not going to encourage them to become any more reasonable. If it deters them from anything, it will be from returning to the negotiating table. Starving the North Koreans and bankrupting their businesses will do naught but increase their hatred for America. Their government will then use this in their propaganda to prove that America is an evil power that needs to be taken out by their new ballistic missile technology. If no serious actions are taken to prevent the North from furthering their ballistic missile technology, things could escalate very quickly if they are allowed to perfect their payload deliverance systems.

We'll just wake up one day to find that several of our major cities have been nuked and that will be the end of us. The only way we can prevent that is to nuke them first, and we won't do that. See you in hell.
No, we most certainly do not need another insubordinate SOB like Douglas MacArthur. One thing that makes this country very much what it is, instead of your garden variety banana republic, is the subordinance of military authority to the civilian authority.
Keep up the good work there Kimson. You will graduate to the same league as the middle east thugs. Then you can look up everytime you come outside. The drone birds will be migrating to N. Korea soon if they aren't already there. Good practice for the drone pilots. Get on a diet because you are easy to Identify right now. Send all that extra food to those starving followers.
Our weapons are tested before we use them. We use our previously tested weapons on people in numerous countries. Since Bock's Car's failure, the 2nd atomic bomb drop,(it didn't kill as many as it should have), testing of our weapons is a top priority, (during WW2 many early torpedoes didn't detonate on target),(VietNam early sidewinders missed completely),(Iran our helicopters and tanks were sandblasted), but as you see sometimes necessity creates invention.
"I think our country should continue launching man-made satellites in the future in order to further advance the position of our country as a science and technology power."

It may be time for Obama to again issue one of his warnings. Just beause there has been no attention paid to his previous warnings does not mean North Korea would not quake in their boots should Obama issue a warning to them.
The genie was allready out of the bottle when Obama became President. She made her escape from the bottle while Bush was focusing his attention on beating down a country, Iraq, that was zero threat to us. If Obama is unable to recapture that genie and put her back into the bottle, don't blame him for at least he's done more than George Bush ever did.
