| SKors ready for war... |

| South Korea is prepared for war in the event that diplomacy fails to defuse an intensifying nuclear crisis on the Korean Peninsula, the country's top defense official said today. "If the North Korean nuclear problem cannot be solved peacefully and America attacks North Korea, war on the Korean Peninsula will be unavoidable," Defense Minister Lee Jun told parliament. "Our army is prepared for the worst-case scenario." Jun added that if North Korea follows through on restarting its nuclear reactor and proceeds to build nuclear weapons, the weapons likely would be trained at South Korea. Took 'em long enough to notice, didn't it? His comments served to underscore that, despite South Korea's "sunshine policy" of reconciliation and engagement, the North remains an enemy dating back to the Korean War in 1950-53. That's today's installment of "Statment of the Obvious." Tune in tomorrow, when you'll hear Sammy say, "Them Merkins just don't like me!" Until then... |
