Nine countries have fired long range and or orbital rockets since Sputnick One went aloft in Oct 1957. They are Soviet Union, United States, France, Japan, China, United Kingdom, India, Israel and Iran. To add North Korea to this list is no big deal and if one considers that we who live in the area could not care less then why all the " shoot it down " hysterical retoric that is making the media headlines. I don't see the word hypocrisy anywhere in these same headlines so one must assume that it's just too difficult a word to spell. Another couple of words these writers of policy avoid is " entente cordiale " and it's a fair bet that they would not even have the faintest idea what it means much less to be able to spell it.

O.P.
