South Korean officials said this week a trip was imminent, with analysts saying a visit would help revive dormant international talks hosted by Beijing on ending Pyongyang's nuclear ambitions.
The North's official news agency said in a report on Saturday that Kim had watched a musical performance in Pyongyang. It did not give a date for when he attended the event.
I wondered who the message of sinking a South Korean warship was supposed to reach (if the North Koreans are guilty of the attack, of course).
Perhaps the message is for the Chinese as a way of saying to Peking than the North Koreans won't be pushed into peaceful measures very easily.
