New War/Old War... Will South Korea reactivate the War with the North

[Spectral Morn]

I think anyone who has any interest in world events will be aware of the increasing tensions in Korea. This AMs news is that the North has attacked the South today.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/southkorea/8153100/North-Korean-attack-on-Yeonpyeong-Island-is-worst-against-civilians-in-20-years.html

A military exercise being conducted by the South has been reacted to by the North firing well over 200 shells at a Southern controlled island near to the border with the North. This island is inhabited by civilians......there have been casualties.....many homes destroyed + a southern military base has been hit as well.

The War between the North and South never actually ended back in the 1950's is this the beginning of the reactivation of it ? Will the rest of the world get sucked into it ?

This is a very worrying situation :(

Its a scary thought in the last year you can see tensions between the two countries have really risen
Lets hope diplomacy can find a way

I hope so John but and to quote from the Telegraph.....

"The islands were the scene of three skirmishes between the navies of North and South Korea in 1999, 2002 and most recently in 2009 when a North Korean patrol ship was set on fire by South Korean gunfire.
The attack comes after nearly two years of deteriorating relations between the two Koreas, which reached a nadir last March after the sinking of a South Korean corvette, the Cheonan, with the loss of 46 lives"

This area has been the scene for a lot of grief over the last few years and after the sinking of the Cheonan the South does not talk to the North anymore...at least officially.

If Ronald Reagan where president,He would have smuthered that little runt with a pillow years ago!
I'm pretty much sick of north Korea,printing U.S. curentcy(counterfiting the doller)not that it makes much differance under Obama we can't print enough our selves.

North Korea is a little nightmare that needs to be leveled for the betterment of the world.

Margret Thatcher could also have laid the smack down on the little pubic crab!

[goraman]

Lets hope the US dont get involved!

Yes,Andre we will,will threaten to impose more santions:lol:

North Korea is being supported by Iran,Pakistan,lybia ect...
The south Korea has been a very successful Democracy of sorts,an industry giant and ali of the U.S.
With out some help from western military the north would take over South Koreas money,industry,military,and become a bigger monster than it is now.

I think we should Carpet bomb with Dasy cutters,1000lb.ers and drop one or 2 low level nukes on them as a warning!

Let the B-52's sore once more!

Well after the next election you might have your wish as possibilty of Sarah Palin winning

Removing the "Dear leader" and his family will not be easy in fact Imho impossible.

Korea is one of the few countries that could cause another World War. China is a strong ally having involved itself back in the Korean civil war (late 1940's) which then became the Korean war almost a World War.

The only way things can be resolved is for the Dear leaders family to lose the devotion of the people. Make no mistake here the "Dear Leader" is worshipped as a god in North Korea. Anyone of a different persuasion in the main (but not exclusively) Christians are persecuted unto death by the North. The Northern Korean people need to rise up with the support of the army but it is unlikely to happen...it hasn't so far (that we know of) and conditions in the North are terrible.

Sanctions will not work but only give the North more amo to accuse the rest of the world with.

A conflict between North and South would be a disaster of Global proportions and it would quite possibly go Nuclear and draw in the rest of the world. I hope none of this happens.

The UN has been completely undermined of late by the 'illegal' invasion of Iraq, by the beloved Blair & Bush alliance, oh and NATO too for that matter...

This is a real concern...

At what point could anyone undermine the UN more than the UN it's self.
