UN Security Council Nations Agree to Condemn N. Korea's Rocket Launch

UNITED NATIONS -- Key Security Council nations reached agreement Saturday on a statement that would condemn North Korea's rocket launch and toughen U.N. sanctions against the reclusive communist nation.

The five permanent veto-wielding members -- the U.S., China, Russia, Britain and France -- and Japan reached agreement after Tokyo backed down from a demand that the Security Council adopt a new resolution, the strongest response the U.N.'s most powerful body can give.

I didn't think or feel that this should have even been a debate. Launching a long range missle into unathourized air better yet over countries. I guess politics will always be politics and everything has to be handled in some sort of diplomatic manor on way or another.
