North Korea in space

North Korea says it put a satellite into space today, broadcasting tunes from their loonytoon leader as well as taking measurements of the earth's surface.

The USA and Japan state that the satellite, if there actually was one, never made it to space, but along with the other stages of the missile, fell into the Pacific Ocean.

Needless to say people are upset, especially since North Korea has nuclear capabilities, and Mexico, which is the acting lead for the UN Security Council is calling an emergency meeting this afternoon.

Will there be sanctions? (Do they work?) Will China veto any attempt at sanctions? (Its hard to know what the Chinese are thinking or plotting.)

As President Obama continues his first international tour more pressure is putting foreign policy to the forefront and pushing domestic policy to the back. Unfortunately, our government needs to get the domestic issues resolved before it can devoted the time it needs to foreign issues.

We have already seen applause from the Europeans for the new war on terror plan, just not a lot of financial or physical support. Which puts the burden on the back's of the American tax payer, who frankly do not have too much back to offer.

While the Administration needs to keep a wary eye on international fronts, it needs to concentrate on the home front. Let's get America strong and secure internally, then we can go out and take on the world.

Its Common Sense!
