Pyongyang's Rockets

North Korea is threatening to attack the U. S. with nuclear-tipped rockets, turning American cities into "seas of fire."  U. S. intelligence, however, is confident Pyongyang has no rocket capable of doing that.  Indeed, the North Korean rocket development program has been marked almost entirely by launch failures.

Of course, American intelligence has also been sure right along that North Korea had no nuclear bombs that would fit on a rocket.  That's almost certainly correct, but over the past couple of days doubts seem to have arisen.  If Pyongyang has deliverable nuclear bombs, South Korea and Japan could be in real danger.

The two technologies that could make mankind the master of the Solar System-- rockets and nuclear energy-- could be used to create a bloodbath.
