| North Korea says sea border is illegal |
| 2002-06-30 |
| North Korea says the maritime border where the sea battle with South Korea took place was illegal and should be abolished. "The border should be wherever we say it is, subject to change without warning..." It has refused to apologise for the skirmish in which four South Korean sailors died. "That's 'cause we're communist tough guys who're into juche, so that means we can be arrogant and brutal even though we don't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out." The South Korean military claim North Korea suffered about 30 casualties. "The government will take necessary steps so the people can engage in their business without concerns," said South Korean President Kim Dae-jung, who has urged his military to be more vigilant. Does that mean they're gonna shoot first and ask questions later? They've been pretty peace-loving so far... The fight broke out after two Northern patrol vessels accompanying fishing boats crossed the sea border and one opened fire after ignoring warnings to retreat, South Korean officials said. North Korea, however, accused Southern boats of provoking the battle by entering communist territory. If you're North Korea, it's a provocation when somebody shoots back. |
