Any bets on whether or not the rocket has a mysterious malfunction after launch?

I think it would be great if we slapped it down out of the sky like a mosquito. But then The North Korean Army would probably start really rattling their swords. That's a pretty formidible army isn't it?

In a country of about 25 million people, their standing army is well over a million and about 8 million in the reserve. Yes, formidable would apply. To give you an idea of it's size, that is approximately the size of the US armed forces at their peak in WWII. We had Ike, they have a raving loon.
