I guess everyone has hear the news, and as it seems that now we switched focus to what's going on or not on both Koreas I find extremely interesting how "the leaders of the free world are worried about this idiot pushing everybody's patience, when was the so-called free world that developed a while ago the technology that today is used by little second hand dictators to threat to do something they will not do and to give enough excuse to those leaders to keep putting money into things they should not be putting money into it.

"Untitled" (MGM-5 Corporal Missile) © Flavio Martín Morante_2009
As an anecdote I say that few years ago I photographed this "mad toy" rusting on a military museum (war toys junkyard) here on Wisconsin. The description sign on it which was extracted from wikipedia read among several "interesting" facts, that this was the first missile to be authorized to carry a nuclear head back on the 50's, but also that since it was a developing system, as usually it has its defects, among them an inaccuracy percentage of around 50% (perplexed expression on my face every time I think about it).
Today as this missile is still seating there, I can only think of the chain of events in which someone comes with the idea for it, someone else makes them, another one operates them, and someone else fires them, while the rest watch them coming, if they do not come, then you got someone like me paying $4 to go see them rusting in some midwest museum.
Cheers!
