Japan and North Korea

Something to watch as it progresses in the coming weeks. North Korea is planning on sending into orbit a satellite via a rocket April 4 – 8. The problem is that North Korea has threatened that any country that shoots down the rocket carrying the satellite would mean an “act of war”. Japan has expressed concerns for the rocket launch because it will fly over their land. It feels that the rocket posses a threat to them. Japan feels that they are entitled to protect themselves and might employ their missile defense system they have in place.
