You haven't all forgotten about Iran have you? There is a "red line" they are going to pass with their nuclear technological advancements, that both the US and Israel have agreed to use military force to stop. This is a distraction technique used a lot throughout history, both national and international. In this case, North Korea is distracting the international community while the US and Israel prepare for an attack on Iran, and possibly anything that might follow. Hopefully both of these situations don't fall to their worst case scenario (war, possibly nuclear war), because everyone should know that the United States really just can't afford another war. And I'd bet the public is tired of hearing about too. Anyways, this is mostly a reminder that there will be something boiling over in Iran any time now until the end of the year.
