North Korea blamed South Korea on Tuesday for a stall in the dialogue between the two countries and demanded an apology. In a lengthy report, the North's Secretariat of the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland cited a mass defection of North Koreans to the capitalist South earlier this year — and a joint military exercise the South held with the United States — as "anti-reunification acts."| "Stop those siren songs!" |
"Due to all the wrong acts of the South Korean authorities, multichannel dialogues and contacts including the ministerial talks have stopped and the inter-Korean relations frozen, and the situation of the Korean Peninsula is rushing headlong to an acute confrontation and strain," the secretariat said in a statement carried by KCNA, the North's official news agency. On Tuesday, North Korea also urged South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun's administration to "admit its two-year course of acts against reunification and apologize to the nation at an early date in whatever form and way considered suitable"...
I checked KCNA in hopes of finding a good spew since face is involved in apologies - but the cupboard was bare.
