North Korea seems to be tottering in the hands of a missile-loving administration, which has little concern about the aftermaths of nuclear attacks. The declarations  and reactions of the North Korean administration over the issue of two U.S. stealth aircraft flying to South Korea and back from U.S. has been near hysterical, with rocket systems put on alert and readied to fire at key targets.
