Context: North Korea have been waving their red flag in front of the world this week in test-firing missiles in the face of staunch opposition by the rest of the world. Kim Jong Il, the communist country's leader has been talking big and defying everyone who makes a remote criticism of his activities. Funnily enough his missiles were rooted and crashed into the ocean after malfunctioning in mid-air.This comes as this week the United States successfully launched the space shuttle Discovery from Cape Canaveral.
