When rogue state North Korea on Sunday conducted its third test of a long-range missile, defying a test ban imposed by the U.N. Security Council, critics from around the world condemned its actions. President Barack Obama called it a provocative act, Japans prime minister called it an extremely provocative act and South Koreas president called it a reckless action.
But Rep. Ron Paul, the onetime Republican presidential candidate known for his strident libertarian policies, thinks everyones overreacting. His main points, released in a statement accompanying a video address:
1) North Korea has a legal right to launch a rocket into space.
2) North Korea isnt a significant threat to the U.S.
3) The White House has reacted in an overly bellicose and provocative manner.
