It would be infinitely more impressive if the South sent such a message to the North. That is much more impressive than feeling "elated" over killing a small band of malnourished, desperate people with a few guns who will, inevitably, be replaced by more bands of malnourished, desperate people because the money is too good to pass up. High fiving yourself for killing a few desperately poor, black people(and race is a key factor in this), as opposed to dealing with your true nemesis( the North), is pretty messed up. Malaysia did a much better job(and without US back up) recently against such an attack.

This is still all over the news 24/7.

Korea has finally stood up for itself and they are revelling in it. This newfound feeling of assertiveness. Expect replays of it for the next year, with the odd re-run of World cup 2002 thrown in for good measure.


So what's the over-under on when the movie based off of this comes out? I'm saying December 2011.

Script is probably already in CJ Entertainment's boardroom.

I'm not currently over there so I've been spared the local reaction, but why do you think this is so?
