No reports of N. Korean casualties in this piece. For some reason, I find this a bit suspicious.

The United States maintains 37,000 troops in South Korea to deter a repeat of the North Korean invasion which sparked he Korean War. Interesting, we can place 37,000 young American men on this border but we refuse to secure our own borders.

Kim, who had been scheduled to watch the match on television, had just days earlier underscored that his policy of engaging communist North Korea while maintaining military readiness had ensured a safe World Cup in South Korea and co-host Japan.His policy of weakness has contributed to the loss of a warship. All in all, North Korea was unlikely to care a great deal about the World Cup regardless of South Korean policy.

"We believe the incursion was very intentional," he said of the 12th maritime intrusion by North Korean vessels this year. Sounds like almost a regular occurance.
A skirmish or two (or twelve) betwix foes is nothing new.
Nothing to get excited about here.

Kim also scrapped plans to watch the last World Cup soccer match played by and hosted in South Korea, a third-place playoff with Turkey in the southeastern city of Taegu on Saturday night.WELL!? Dammit Reuters, who won the game?
