I don't understand how people can accept that. I've always advocated shooting missiles before (or at least just after) they enter one's airspace.
There's always a danger of the missile self-destructing (accidentally or deliberately) or malfunctioning over the country and still causing damage, whether or not it was actually aimed at the country. Also, you don't know if there's a secret EMP device, dirty bomb or chemical/biological agent dispenser on top of one of those missiles, things that don't require the missile to impact to cause damage.
well NK did mention intercepting the missile = declaration of war against themThere's always a danger of the missile self-destructing (accidentally or deliberately) or malfunctioning over the country and still causing damage, whether or not it was actually aimed at the country.

i think the military top guns all did their calculations and deemed it to be much better to let it go over than risking open warfare, esp since they reckon that NK is just as usual, more bark than bite
though, Patriot batteries may not have the range or capability to properly intercept the missile. nobody really knows
