Korean War Part 2?

In the article 'Korean War Part 2?' by Choe Sang-Hun is about sixty years after the end of the war, tensions are rising on the Korean peninsula. In the article it says, "In the North, a secretive totalitarian Communist regime has ruled over a starving, tightly controlled population. In the South, a vibrant democracy, protected by U.S. troops, has produced one of the world's most technologically advanced economies.

The North nullified the peace of the war from 60 years ago. The article says, " Last month, the North declared the armistice that ended the war and has largely kept the peace for the last 60 years "nullified". And has threatened to launch a "pre-emptive nuclear strike" against South Korea and the United States." For strange behavior and protective actions the threats are being taken serious.

The article states, "Taking no chances, the U.S. announced it would spend $1 billion on additional missile defense in Alaska and California." Despite the war- like rhetoric coming from the North including a bizarre statement that blamed rising tensions on the "venomous swish". The article says, "The third nuclear test was for South Korea what the Cuban Missile Crisis was for the U.S., says Han Young-sup, a professor at the Korea National Defense University in Seoul. ' It has made the North Korean threat seem very close'."

I think that North Korea should not have broke the armistice that stopped the war and began the peace 60 years ago. I think the point of this war is pointless. To me it is a dumb reason to start a war. But the U.S. should take the threats serious and take serious action to the threats before things get out of hand.
