Yeah, I hear you on that one and offer sympathy. I have a bunch of friends who live in Japan -- and I was there myself for their first nuclear test in '06. Shit is terrifying.

I really do think the best we can hope for is China using their leverage to tone NK's more apocalyptic tendencies down, because saber-rattling from the West is just going to convince them they need to keep building their arsenal before the hammer falls.
