#4 Remember the words Yamamoto was supposed to have said after Pearl Harbor? "I am afraid we have awakened a sleeping dragon, and filled it with a terrible resolve." I think North Korea is doing the same thing with Japan. If it is, the stupidity quotient is out of sight. The Japanese are finally discussing rebuilding and modernizing its national defense infrastructure to where they can protect themselves. Their economy may be "flat", but they have an industrial capability that is 100 times what North Korea can even try to put forth. Not to mention some ten times the population, and an education system that turns out some absolutely brilliant minds. I don't think China or Russia are going to be terribly pleased by Kim stirring up the Japanese and giving them something to unite around.

#5 Gearing up for military production will also throw some juice into their economy.

I don't know what NKor tactics are like, but their strategy sucks.

#8 "Japanese officials are free to let loose very provocative outbursts that Japan may have a war with North Korea and Japan should make a preemptive attack on North Korea even with the help of the U.S. before the former is turned into a sea of fire."

Ok, so I'm confused....who gets turned into a sea of fire? North Korea, Japan or the US? And is that before or after the puppy gets eaten by the tiger? (Quick, alert PETA!!)

This guy needs to frolic with the rainbows on Mt Paektu to rest and recharge......
