South Korea's military scrambled naval vessels to the western waters near the disputed maritime border with North Korea late Friday after an explosion ripped a hole in the bottom of a military ship.
There was speculation it could have been from a torpedo from the North. The involvement of North Korea has not yet been confirmed.
The North more than likely wants a war. Now when they have nuclear weapons they feel a bit more secure and with millions famished and their socialist experiment being a total failure the pressure is on. The dictatorship would consequently welcome a slight skirmish, focusing their people on fighting and not starving. Maybe they could even get some thousand killed and get some agreement of help sent out of a future armistice; both prospects should look like a good idea for the socialists.
And you just instinctively know that if that deranged midget is desperate enough to do something this provocative, things must be getting pretty bad for the regime.

Yah another war - the world economy is saved
Sort of…
The Americans are happy with their wars, it’s the only thing keeping GDP numbers up and the only “positive” thing in the economy during the whole of 2009. And the most warmongering president in US history probably has nothing against throwing some of those phallus thingies at tiny Koreans. Showing his manhood so to say. A new "Tonkin incident" perhaps?
The Chinese will probably put a stop to anything of the sort though, so don’t get your hopes up yet.
