this isn't fair

Most of the world has heard that North Korea is going to launch a communications satellite into space in the next few days. What I am unable to understand is- Why are other countries so worried about the launch? Why is the US even going to the extent of saying that they will stop the launch? Even China is trying hard so that North Korea does not launch the rocket. Japan is buttressing its anti-air missile launch capabilities.

Which country wouldn't want to be independent and progressive? What I fail to understand is how can the literate leaders of the other countries not see that everything has two sides; everything can be used for peaceful and/or destructive purposes. How can I allow someone else to decide my future and my course of actions? The current hustle of activity among the other nations seems to stem from paranoia. If some countries want other countries to remain peaceful then they need to set the example and become peaceful. It is hypocrisy when one country maintains weapons and asks another country to relinquish them. Are they for real?

South Korea and North Korea have been at loggerheads but it should be left to them to sort out their differences. For how long can people carry on warring? Warring only leads to more warring. Cooperation, forgiveness and love towards each other is the only way to a peaceful world.

With respect to US intelligence, the whole world knows that they failed miserably when they accused Iraq of harboring weapons of mass destruction. So how can the rest of the world accept any evidence (true or false) that the US Govt. presents to the world? The US even went ahead and simply bombed Iraq. How come the US Govt. thinks that it has enough grey matter and heart to decide what is best for someone else? I guess the US Govt. is the most paranoid of all since they try to destroy whoever they think is a threat to their remaining a so-called super-power. The rest of the world should realize that just because a country has better technology does not necessarily make it right. Doing the right thing requires a strong heart and courage, not trigger-happy fingers. The US Govt. does not realize that everyone suffers in a war, even the side that attacks. So many US soldiers are dying and for what reason?

All over the world, people who have committed crimes in which many human lives were taken are being tried for their actions. Why isn't the US Govt. being tried for such a colossal blunder. Their actions, of course thoughtless in nature, caused many human lives to be lost on both sides. The US Govt. considers itself a super-power, but can it give life to even a single human being who was killed during those years of attacks? I don't think so.

No country should stop North Korea from launching its rocket. As much as the current slowdown in the economy has shown that we are all sharing a single world and that each one's actions affect everyone else, this too is another such event. Other countries should realize that they are neither pious nor have they always done the right thing so how can they point fingers at North Korea?

I also get the feeling that most of these so-called leaders do not have any idea of what the common man/woman actually needs. They seem to be pushing their own agenda which in turn seems to be based on some idea that they have gathered over time.

This is a tirade against not just the US Govt. but against all those who use force or violent methods to achieve peace. I am only using words to spread some sense around. The only way to go about achieving peace is to sit and communicate like educated people and not fight like kids who have only grown in size but have not outgrown their childishness.
