Security Council issued what amounted to a strongly worded letter straight out of Team America: World Police condemning the missile test.

(Thou shalt not kill?)Ezekiel’s eyes tapered. “It ain’t my friends that’d be upset.”I rushed past the insult. “I think anyone would be upset if they knew you were out here, missing the service. You might not be real comfy in our pew. But only ’cause it’d be full. And that’s never hurt anyone. Right...
