North Korea, now seemingly just referred to as a nuclear power, test fired a ballistic missile in early April. The country faced mostly just rhetoric from the U.S. and U.N., condemning the testing. Some insisted the U.S. needed to shoot down any missiles that North Korea launched but the event came and went without incident.

What makes North Korea having nuclear weapons a difficult pill to swallow it that this country seems to be living in another world. The rulers are unpredictable and quick to anger. It appears the Obama administration has opted to deal with North Korea from a position very much unlike that of his predecessor.

Nuclear weapons in the hands of whacked out leaders cannot be a good thing.
