Today I was interviewed by a CNN correspondent from South Korea. He was a nice guy. Took a bunch of pictures of me. He asked me a few questions about how I felt about the current situation. Specifically, Kim Jung Ill has threatened my little home island of Guam with a detailed plan of attack. During the mid half of August, North Korea will have a plan in place to launch four ICBM's intercontinental ballistic missiles, to land to within 20 miles of Guam. Guam is the biggest island between Hawaii and the Philippines and Japan to the west, in the north Pacific Ocean. Yet, Guam is still small, only 32 miles long and 4-6 miles wide. In fact, this part of the Pacific Ocean is called Micronesia, in reference to the small islands that dot the vast open ocean in this region.
