Obviously, by now, everyone on the planet knows the tensions on the Korean Peninsula are at an all time high considering Tuesday's artillery on South Korea's island of Yeonpyeong is the first artillery shelling since the "end" of the Korean War in 1953. To add insult to injury, North Korea is now claiming that the South used civilian deaths as a method of propaganda. Just how insane and maniacal are these fools up north? According to both CNN and Fox news (I had to sample both sides to get a fair and balanced reading...right?), North Korea offically stated, "It is regrettable, if it is true, that civilian casualties occurred on Yeonpyeong Island..." Needless to say, South Koreans are enraged, infuriated, angry, pissed off, however you would like to put it. Demonstrations were held today (Saturday, November 27) in Seoul as the funeral for the two marines (South Koreans don't capitalize the term) ensued. Here's a photo I found especially interesting during those protests.
Clearly South Koreans are fed up with the North's antics. Even the citizens want a war! C'mon, USA...give 'em what they want! It's not like China will come to the rescue of North Korea when all North Korea really is is a leech. China has way too much to lose to back up this pitiful country/regime.
