Just when the number of problems confronting the world seems to be high enough, we get action on yet another. About ten hours ago, the South Korean navy fired warning shots to push back two North Korean naval vessels that had crossed into South Korean waters. This occured in the same spot where the North sank a South Korean patrol boat two months ago. (Of course, in main stream media speak, a South Korean patro vessel was sunk by a torpedo at that time which may indicate that it was a North Korean attack. who else was it? Angry dolphins?)
It will be interesting to see if there is a further reaction by the North Koreans to this latest event. It would not take much to restart fighting in Korea, particularly since the North Korean government is headed by the world's looniest leader (maybe second looniest after Iran). Imagine what would happen if the NK's decide to teach the South a lesson. The result is too horrible to consider since the NK's are now a nuclear power.
