Why shoot something down that will fall in the ocean anyways? No point in wasting such expensive technology. Aside from that, the international crisis would be massive if the US took that action.
To my knowledge, the US is trying to convince the North Koreans that they can't keep it up. They will simply fail. That's the message we are trying to get across. Now, is it working? I don't know. I trust Secretary Clinton will make such statement known to the North Korean and we can only hope the Security Council takes some action. It'd be difficult but nothing is impossible.
Right now, there is not much we can do about it besides punish them somehow. Most likely economically.
Obama does need to get going though. He is a very gifted orator and he needs to put that in practice. It's his first crisis, so let's given him another chance. Hopefully, he'll take a tougher stance next time.
Fighting for the people, supported by the people.
