North Korea reminds us all that the Korean War never actually ended . . . seriously.

Here are a few of the morning's headlines regarding the Korean Crisis. Last night, N. Korea began firing on the South. Two South Korean soldiers were killed and a number (more than 20) of civilians were injured in the shelling. Since the 1950's, there have been more than 150 such incidents, this being one of the most critical. The shelling comes on the eve of military maneuvers by the South.

The United States has 30,000 troops stationed there.

There is a strategy for the North in this incident. In exchange for "peace," the North will accept aid from whoever . . . the U.S. , China, South Korea. In the coming negotiations, assuming that Obama will try to deal with the problem via some level of talk, North Korea will make certain demands for food, energy and money, the attending world will pay them off and we will all move on.

One of the reasons why Midknight Review is opposed to the nuclear proliferation treatise known as START is that it does not include countries such as China, Iran, India, Pakistan, or N. Korea. It borders on stupid to decrease nuclear weaponry when most of the rest of the world, all enemies of America, are doing just the opposite.

At any rate, here are those headlines:
