Why does one country have the right to tell another whether it can or cannot launch rockets?

It's not one country - it's 15, to include China and Russia......

North Korea says that it has the right to maintain a peaceful space program.

A space program? Why on earth would need that? Don't they barely have things like food & electricity?

Agreed, but if we're going simply by needs that are many nations that can do without certain things; it doesn't mean we have the right to deny them when we have it ourselves.

Demanding they give it up has never and will never work. Just have to hope you can negotiate it down to something manageable and that can be closely monitored. The problem is that NK ALWAYS reneges once they get what they want.

I have every confidence that the 16-transistor radio, playing the greatest hits of Dear Pudgy Leader, including a soul-searching rendition of Pop Goes The Weasel, will show the world they're not a nation to be taken lightly.

Does the stealth plane look like the Japanese model? If it does, then the NK model is as stealth as a whale. Then again, maybe the stealth whale exits!

AKA the same old blackmail scenario as before. No more negotiations if we just keep going around the same circle with no progress.
