North Korea says it is preparing satellite launch

Yes, I agree with North Korea that it has a right to advance its space development program as should any country that chooses to do so. However, the underlying reason for such a satellite launch does not appear to be related to improvement in the field of aeronautics. Building missiles that have the possibility of reaching the U.S. or any other country for that reason is unacceptable and we need to negotiate with North Korea to help see that military operations are not tied with this satellite. Hillary Clinton's visit to Asia must not have been good enough if we were not able to delay such a launch from occurring so soon.
