N Korea tests long-range missile
North Korea has test-fired a number of missiles - one of which was a long-range weapon which failed seconds into flight, US officials have said.
North korea successfully test fired a mid range missile (2000Km) and they were unsuccessful in testing a long range missile (Taepodong-2, 6000km).
Some facts about taepodong-2 can be found on the website: http://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/dprk/missile/td-2.htm
To understand the impact of the range of the missile: now, north Korean missile can reach far reaches of russia, can cover whole of china, also reach India and may be Pakistan. Alaska is also now in the reach of such missiles. The whole of Southeast asia and asia pacific including indonesia, thailand can also become easy prey of such a missile.
This gets me thinking, for how long will humans escape the grave danger of mass annihilitating war when they keep on building huge amounts of more and more lethal weapons?
