UR, you have no clue about geostrategy.
Darius, it isn't falling sections that Japan worries about. It is the provocative nature of such a launch.

Why doesn't NK just test launch it's missiles over heavily populated Chinese cities? That's what Mao did.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”

I think UR is correct to point out the sillyness of saying that Australia is a leading power in East Asia. Beyond the fact that Australia isn't in East Asia, or lacks the reach to make any significant military difference in East Asia, Australia's population base is too small for them in the long run to remain a significant regional power. That they are a regional power in the outer reaches of South East Asia is due to the baackwardness of their neighbors, specifically Indonesia.If you don't like reality, change it! me

The North Koreans launched a total of 10 missles, including a Taepodong-2. It was their big daddy missle, the Taepodong-2 which failed 40 seconds after launch, so all in all the day was a dud for Kim Il Jong.
