Scary, sad but not surprising news

Sufferin' succotash! Just a an hour ago, North Korea bombed a South Korean island in Yeonpueong near Seoul with over 200 shells.  Ut oh...to the embassy! Maybe Kim Jong Il's new fat kid needed a warriors welcome to the throne by injuring civilians.  That's a good way to show him how it's done. Geez. That old ajuma (grandma) looking Tyrant up there throws too many damn tantrums.  First Cheonan...now this.

This is the first time N. Korea has attacked a civilian area since the armistice. One S. Korean soldier has been confirmed dead and civilian houses have been burned by the attack.

Seoul (where I currently live) is pretty damn close to the boarder.  I truly hope this is just N.Korea flexing it's muscles again. I feel terrible for the Koreans who were injured. If an American got hurt it may be war which it still may be with tensions high right now.  N. Korea has been careful only to injure S. Koreans.  Really terrible to say it that way.

The Blue House just received a message from North Korea complaining against the Hokuk, or national security, practice it's been doing. The president is holding a meeting to prevent any more combat from starting.

I'm guessing this will probably end in sanctions, glares, and eventually not much changing.  My heart goes out to those who were injured in this attack.
