The idiocy of politics

I'm not a political person. I'll try not to bring it up much either as I feel it might distance some readers away from this editorial. But some things just blow my mind. Here is a little more on the missile launch situation between Japan and North Korea.

"Japan is translating its criticism against us into action," Song (North Korean leader) told a group of Japanese reporters in the North Korean capital on Friday. "This may force us to take stronger physical actions."

Why....in the world... do you bitch and moan when a country imposes economic sanctions against you when you launch missiles in their direction; consequently breaking your previous treaties, and disturbing world-wide politics? Simply put, you tick someone off a whole lot, don't expect them to be your best friend. North Korea is now in the stages of threatening Japan "physically" (which in my interpretations means possibility of war) over the repercussions of their own actions.

Japan has halted ferry transport from Korea to Japan, and is currently in discussions to decide how many economic restrictions they will now place on North Korea until an agreement is made on the missile launch situation. The problem with this is that North Korea is not fairing so well economically at the current time. These restrictions might keep many innocent people from being fed and receiving the support they need to live. But Japan's reasonings behind this seem to be...why feed and support the people quickly showing themselves as your enemy?

Maybe if North Korea quit funding extensive military upgrades and took care of their own first, they wouldn't be so bad off?
