Answer the following questions related to the article:

2. How much of the bomb detonated in South Korea?  How much in Japan?
3. What does North Korea say is the only thing that will keep it from striking the US mainland?
4. North Korea claims that the missiles are actually what kinds of tests?
5. How has the UN tried to halt North Korea's nuclear plans?
6. In response to last week's article, many of you said that America needs to maintain or decrease its present in Afghanistan because the local peoples need to be able to govern themselves rather than endangering American lives.  Should that same principle be put in place in dealing with North Korea?  Explain.
