>>>(I think folks don't want to admit the housing crisis is as nefarious as it is) Frankly, I'm more concerned about the situation in N/S Korea. No mention here of that. No mention of the Pope's decision to allow for condoms either and that is a history making event. (Both are - well all three really are)

>>I'm not that concerned about the bickering Koreas. This kinda reminds me of the Falklands War, which Borges famously described as two bald men fighting over a comb. Well, not such a good analogy, since the Falklands could at least semi credibly be described as a war. IMO this one is going to go down as two dead South Korean soldiers and a lot of saber rattling back and forth.

Yeah, the Falklands War didn't really threaten the (nuclear) rekindling of a 60 year old conflict which has never been resolved.

But hey, with leadership in the North being solidly in the hands of Kim Jong-il with his "magical powers", nukes, and the fourth largest standing army in the world, what could go wrong? It's not like the two Koreas are as geographically close and Britain and Argentina ...
