6. One of my main complaints is that the Middle East always sucks up so much attention

That issues in the rest of the world don't get addressed. There seems to be a cycle with North Korea where things get really bad, then it goes quite for awhile and they decide they need attention and they start in with their piss fit.

I've been here through two tests and several missile launches. The first nuclear test really had me on edge, but since then I am not as nervous about it. The sinking of the Korean Navy ship and the firing on Yeonpyeong Island were pretty nerve racking as well.
