In a statement carried by the North's Korean Central News Agency, its National Defense Commission warned that it would initiate a "sacred retaliatory battle" against the South, cut off all dialogue and exclude it from all negotiations related to the security of the Korean Peninsula. The commission, headed by North Korean leader Kim Jong-il, is the highest ruling agency in the Stalinist state.
As usual, communication has broken down from it's fragile state and deteriorated into threats and melodrama. Ironically, this sort of break down in communication is strangely reminiscent of trying to deal with any work place in Korea.
No one in my office seems to be the slightest bit concerned about this latest development. Conversation revolved around the usual topics of food, work and children. The attitude reinforces my own opinion that this statement by North Korea is simply the latest in a long line of empty threats and promises.

Oh Bush. I had a nightmare last night and for part of it, he was somehow reelected.
