Said the North Koreans regarding activist plans to release messages on balloons to float into North Korea across the DMZ:
The statement Friday, released by the North’s official Korean Central News Agency, said that as soon as a balloon launch is detected, the North Korean People’s Army “without warning will start a merciless attack” targeting Imjingak and its surroundings. “The leaflets are a most undisguised act of psychological warfare, a violation of the armistice and an intolerable act of war,” the statement said. It urged South Koreans to leave the targeted area.
South Korea is done passively taking such threats, according to the South Korean minister of defense:
[If] North Korea does strike, “we will eradicate their origin of attack.”
Yes, how many times must the cannon balls fly before they're forever banned?
Yes, how many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, how many times can a man turn his head pretending he just doesn't see?
Yes, how many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?
Yes, how many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry?
Yes, how many deaths will it take till he knows that too many people have died?
The answers may be blowing in the wind on Monday.
