Hawaii has started setting up anti-missile defenses against a possible attack from a North Korea ballistic missile that was announced by a Japanese newspaper yesterday.

Reports say North Korea may fire its most advanced ballistic missile toward the islands.

The missile will most likely not have the range to reach Hawaii, but North Korea may fire one in the general direction of the islands in response to United Nations implemented sanctions.

I think that North Korea is actually side tracking us with the Intelligence that has been leaked out stating that the Nukes will hit Hawaii. Actually, why couldn't they target the mainland?North Korea is probably seeking the means to do so. We have so many enemies with means of developing these kind of weapons. I think that more than one country is getting involved here. How did North Korea gather the intelligence to acquire a nuclear bomb anyhow? When these types of countries get a hold of this type of power all I can do is pray. We'll see how great the US Intelligence is when this bomb heads out...I hope they take action instead of letting this happen. After 9/11 and the Iraq war, I figure that there is too much bureaucracy and talk going on! Let's just do what we have to do!
