Well the americans have certainly tried to control space and dominate it like everything else. This has been expressed vocally recently by the Bush administration as to what country's can have access to space and what they are allowed to do . Yes folks I'm sure we will hear the term "space terrorist" soon ....

The U.S. declares war on new terrorist group called the Iranian Space Agency!

This launch was just political dick waving on the part of the americans in response to a similar chinese activity previously.
It was probably intended to also send a ''don't even think about it'' message to the DPRK, and to a lesser exent Iran.
