terry, trust me, they can hit into western nevada. and why hit alaska instead? howsabout the military research facilities, the oil facilities, and the fact that if they hit a military target, and not a population center, in a bonafide act of war, no other country will strike them. if they hit LA, the entire island, nk and sk both, would glow for a million years under the combined arsenal of a dozen countries. and also, if they hit a military target, we here in teh us wouldnt dare hit a population center in reataliation. the rest of the world would strike US, and we would know it.

Hey Horace.
From my perspective, living in NYC, you seem a little
overconcerned.
No, that was Keith "Blue State" Nagel. I'm Terry "Red State" Blanton.
But! Now that you have brought me into the fray . . . the range of Taepo-dong 2 is a gross extrapolation and would likely self destruct on launch:

and even if it could carry the 1000 kg payload described here:

I seriously doubt that NK has developed a weapon capable of missile launch survival even if it is small enough to be carried on TD-2.
What *does* worry me is the massing of Chinese troups on the NK border. Our hawkbilled president just might pull a Milo Minderbinder and hire China to fight NK for us.
However. That NK leader with the bad "do" *does* need a haircut . . . just below his chin.
