Personally

It's how I take threats to my piece of paradise.

Nearly three years ago North Korea tried to target Hawaii with a missile.

Kim Jong-Il and crew are calling us out again...

Report: NKorea may fire missile toward Hawaii

It says a lot when the Secretary of Defense orders additional protections for the island chain.

Since this is the way I annually ward off an Iowa winter, 2010 is already booked, I'll be none to happy if Lil' Kim messes that up and the scientific community is united in that fact.

It should be of comfort to the locals to know that The Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system has intercepted targets in all six tests, since 2005.

A little less comforting, the Aegis system has been successful in 18 out of 22 attempts.
