North Korea Seeks Political Gain from Rocket Launch (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/07/world/asia/07korea.html?_r=1&ref=world)

North Korea tested another Taepodong-2 satellite a few days ago after their previous test in 2006 exploded after only 4 secs. in the air. This raises quite a few concerns as President Obama implored that UN Security Council take action. This is coming after a a resolution was passed that prohibited North Korea from preforming any tests that aid in the development in ICBM (Inter-continental Ballistic Missiles). China held an ambiguous position saying, “Our position is that all countries concerned should show restraint and refrain from taking actions that might lead to increased tensions,” Zhang Yesui, the Chinese ambassador, told reporters.
