There are no reports of casualties on the North Korean side in the Korean media here in Seoul, either. I think that it is likely that there were none.

Remember that South Korea is co-hosting (with Japan) the 2002 World Cup, and they do not want a real big blow-up right now. I'm sure that this was timed for maximum embarassment to the South, and the South wants now to low key it until the thousands of visitors leave.

Frankly, even then, I doubt that under Kim Dae Jung there will be any retaliation.

We'll just have to wait and see.

Acting-President Cheney's gonna be pissed. And so will Dubya once he wakes up. There might be retaliation.
