In view
of the missile test by Kim Jong-un last December (“Onesmall step for Kim Jong Un”; CNN News; December 13, 2012), newly appointed secretary of
Defense Chuck Hagel announced to boost missile defense system that the Obama

threat of North Korea has grown to the level of the Pearl Harbor attack. The Fordow

Axis of Evil primarily constituted of North Korea and Iran. How do we manage dangerous
ambitions of both nuclear rogues?
