I'm not defending the possession of ICBMs, just suggesting that if there is one nation that should be kept from having them, North Korea is probably it.

I just type a summary of my issue into Google. 9/10, my problem's been addressed on one of the thousands of indexed forums, and I find an answer pretty quickly.
