Looks like the Norks are getting frisky.

My guess is a test run for later. I have a bad feeling about that peninsula.  I've got a feeling that there's a power struggle going on and the generally the hard-liners set the tone when that happens.  It becomes a game of "I'm more communist then you." and the body count really starts to rise.   
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

It isn't looking good.

If something were to happen between the two, it could get big in a hurry.  Assuming Obama would actually back S. Korea.

Oh, he'd act to support S. Korea, right after every one of our troops in theater were dead or being marched north.

I'm so contrarian that I didn't respond to the thread.

Yes, he would.  He'd have Kerry issuing some very strongly worded diplomatic notes, one after the other, until the Norks returned our people and headed back across the line.  It will be beautiful to see.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

So why haven't we invaded NK and made a regime change yet?

I'm sure that they would all love us for it.  It would be a cake-walk.
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

The natural resources... they aren't there...

Yay, empire-building!

1000 points of light!  Stay the course!  New World Order!

We haven't had a good, nation-building, puppet-regime-toppling, proxy war between ideologies in a good month or two.

Looks like she could poke somebody's eye out with that "sword", which looks like an overgrown kitchen knife.

Hey look, Norks doing the Cancan!
That is all. *expletive deleted*ck you all, eat *expletive deleted*it, and die in a fire. I have considered writing here a long parting section dedicated to each poster, but I have decided, at length, against it. *expletive deleted*ck you all and Hail Satan.
