North Korea is simply capitalizing on the recent South Korean elections and trying to drive a wedge deeper between South Korea and the United States. The new South Korean president may be far less harsh about US-Korean relations in private than he is in public. If he and his government were really insistent about fundamentally altering the relationship to deemphasize the US component to Korean security I believe Bush would accomodate them.

It's really the UN's armistice anyway. Let Kofi Annan take it over. While we're at it, let's move UN Headquarters to Seoul and let it make Jimmy Carter its next Secretary General. He can hold the North Korean artillery at bay with a simple scolding and self-righteous lecture, I'm sure.

Excellent point, Kevin Curry. I expect the UN will be drawn in soon. As to the latter part of the post... ROTFLMAO!
