    Britons dodged a bullet last week, only inasmuch as they managed to merely shoot themselves in the foot rather than in the heart.

  • North Korean missile launch may be testing rivals, not technology

    North Korea’s latest missile test Monday may have less to do with perfecting its weapons technology than with showing U.S. and South Korean forces in the region that it can strike them at will.
