North Korean Rocket Launch

     For the past few weeks news groups have been following the story of North Korea and their proposed rocket launch.  However, despite the concerns from the U.S. Foreign Affairs Committee, and others around the world, the story has gone mostly buried in the news.  

     North Korea has stated that the launch is for peaceful purposes, but regardless of whether or not this specific launch is, many argue that North Korean scientist are using this launch to expand their knowledge in rockets for their main goal which is to go nuclear.  North Korea has claimed to be a nuclear state, and many experts warn that by 2020, North Korea could have as many as 100 nuclear weapons.  

     So despite this threat to the U.S. and other foreign countries, why is it that the story has been buried in other meaningless news?  Could it be that ISIS, is the main global concern?  Probably not since reporting on ISIS has been even less popular.  Or perhaps it's because most in the U.S. are focused on the upcoming Presidential Election.  If so, it may be because all hope is lost with the current administration when it comes to rebuilding and strengthening our foreign policy.  

     When a society becomes hopeless they'd rather look the other way, than acknowledge certain realties.  Either way, this is a story that most Americans should begin to follow.
