World Press Speculates About Tensions on Korean Peninsula
Worldwide media speculation is running high as tension deepens after South Korea accused the North of sinking the Navy corvette Cheonan in March.
Time magazine on Wednesday laid out a scenario for a limited war of small-scale skirmishes. The most dangerous and likeliest place is the West Sea. Even before the Cheonan was sunk by a North Korean torpedo, three clashes had taken place there. If the North does not recognize the Northern Limit Line, which was drawn by the Allied Forces following the truce in the Korean War, there is a constant threat of confrontations.
The second flash point is the demilitarized zone, the weekly said. When Seoul announced its plan to resume so-called psychological warfare -- broadcasting propaganda across the demilitarized zone. North Korea warned that it would fire at loudspeakers. The South has said it would exercise the right to self-defense. The magazine said even a small skirmish can lead to greater war in times of intense tensions.
Meanwhile, Newsweek believes North Korea is seeking a way out of the impasse created by the sinking of Cheonan. Although North Korea's bellicose rhetoric is getting louder, this is really a verbal response to the South Korean reaction, rather than serious action. "In May -- before the North was officially blamed for sinking the Cheonan -- the National Defense Commission dismissed Kim Il-chol, its highest-ranking naval officer, due to his 'old age,'" the magazine said. "Kim Il-chol is said to be in his late 70s, but the dismissal makes little sense; the commission is full of old-timers in their 70s and 80s. The removal of the naval commander could be Pyongyang's first step toward admitting culpability, albeit tacitly, and claiming to have punished the responsible party."

Re: Another day, another threat of all-out war.
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid= ... azWJZZsfEENorth Korean Major General Pak Rim Su said in Pyongyang yesterday that the international investigation into the March 26 sinking was biased because it was supervised by the South Korean military and included the U.S., KCNA said.
Pak said the North does not have type of submarines that the South said carried out the attack, Agence France-Presse reported, citing North Korea’s Chungang TV. South Korea’s Yonhap News quoted South Korean officials as saying the North has about 10 of the Yeono class submarines, AFP said.
Senior Colonel Ri Son Gwon also derided claims that writing on the torpedo was put there by North Korea, AFP reported.
“When we put serial numbers on weapons, we engrave them with machines,” Ri said, according to AFP.

Re: Another day, another threat of all-out war.
There's also a fair number of people here in the South who think the whole thing was staged because of the June 2nd elections. Keep in mind that S. Korea, like most every country, has its share of conspiracy theorists and tin-hatters, though I'm not saying that these people are such.

Response from the South.
100,000-strong demonstration in NK over the claims
The sign reads, as far as I can tell, "If you attack us, it will just be your turn to die"

Re: Another day, another threat of all-out war.
GENEVA (Reuters) – A North Korean envoy said on Thursday that war could erupt at any time on the divided Korean peninsula because of tension with Seoul over the sinking of a South Korean warship in March.
"The present situation of the Korean peninsula is so grave that a war may break out any moment," Ri Jang Gon, North Korea's deputy ambassador in Geneva, told the United Nations-sponsored Conference on Disarmament.
