Should a missile launch take place, the government would then consider unspecified sanctions against North Korea, the Yomiuri added.

Now I feel safe.

The WaiWai has a better plan:

"If there's only a single warhead, they'll probably go for Tokyo. If there're more, they'll go for internationally famous cities like Yokohama, Kobe, Fukuoka and Sapporo. Niigata has been pretty good to that mob (a ferry travels between the Sea of Japan city and North Korea), so that's probably the place to be," he says.

Bring 'em on!

Japan braces for rockets
...If the missile lands in Japan or its territorial waters, Tokyo will consider sanctions against North Korea. In the event of a further deterioration, the Japanese Prime Minister will mobilise Japan's forces for national defence.
The carefully staged response plan reflects Japan...

I'm sure that a "consideration of sanctions" will really worry the Lit'l Kim Ill and his Dongs.

That is appalling... I mean if they nuke us, we are going to sanction them. Typical Japanese response to how it should be done. So if they launch all their nukes, I guess it's time for a boycott of kimchi? LOL

Nowadays,the morning commute in North Korea's frigid capital also includes a duck-and-cover dress rehearsal for the apocalypse. At 10 a.m., a siren wails, and hundreds of workers in drab coats run across Kim Il Sung Square, scrambling into cavernous subway platforms 300 feet underground.

North Korea's self image - reinforced by such drills, military posters everywhere, and flickering lights, is of a fortress being starved into submission. The recent American cuts in oil shipments, and a shortfall of international aid only serve to confirm it.

Even at the General Hospital of Koryo Medicine in Pyongyang the doctors are preparing to fight America, not malnutrition.

"If Kim Jong Il calls us, I'll leave the hospital and fight in the army," says Hyon Chol, the hospital's deputy director. "A lack of food and energy does not really have an effect on our people's health," he insists.

"We want help, but we are not going to beg for peace."

This is one of the coldest winters in recent times, with the Taedong River freezing over amid temperatures as low as -6 F. The electricity shortage is apparent in classrooms where students wear coats and gloves]

"Peas on Earth

No "peas," just corn.

Horrors of North Korea
... Kang would come to view rats and roaches as nutritious delicacies. He would see people tortured for the smallest indiscretions of camp rules, reported by a network of snitches forced into action on pain of death. He endured the bi-weekly compulsory self-criticism sessions, where people were required to stand up and denounce themselves for not being loyal enough to the Great Leader, such as failing to learn by heart one of his speeches to the nation.

Punishments followed. Still a child, he spent 15-18 hours a day doing backbreaking work such as hauling logs, with impossible quotas set by the authorities. Food allowances were chronically shy of sustaining life, the constant diet of too little corn causing him years of crippling diarrhoea.

"I think the hangings left the biggest mark. They still appear in my nightmares," the now 35-year-old Kang says in a Seoul coffee shop.

You've got to do something about the fallout right away. It's a good idea to crouch down and wrap your head and body in a white sheet. White objects reflect the blast. Using a few sheets and rolling yourself up like a mummy could also prove effective," the survival specialist tells Weekly Playboy

It does not reflect the blast... what a bunch of crap.

Where did Playboy get their info from?
maybe from the creators of Gilligan's Island? recently saw an episode where the only side effect they figured from radioactivity was that it would make you glow and cause vegetables to grow to giant size... hee hee hee...
