Southeast Asia gone crazy

Ugh.
Taiwan plans to test-fire a missile capable of hitting China, alarming the island's main ally, the United States, a cable news network said on Thursday.

The Hsiung Feng III, developed by Taiwan's Chungshan Institute of Science and Technology, has a range of 600 km (360 miles) and is accurate to within half a meter, the online edition of cable news network ETTV (http://www.ettoday.com) said, quoting unnamed military sources.


I'd like to say, "on the plus side, this gives China a little taste of what Japan and the U.S. are feeling in regards to North Korea," except this is a provocation Taiwan really doesn't need-unless of course they are looking forward to that Chinese invasion.

Seeing that we're discussing firing missiles, I'd like to announce I'm planning on firing a bottle rocket capable of hitting the Town of Koshkonong...if the wind is right.
