South Koreans aren't particularly concerned about North Korea, and are basically always scratching their heads over our bizarro obsession with wanting to blow them up all the time.
South Korea says it has returned fire after North Korea fired dozens of artillery shells at one of its border islands, killing two marines.
The South's military was placed on its highest non-wartime alert after the shells landed on Yeonpyeong island.
Amid growing tensions between the United States and North Korea, Choong-hee Hahn, the South Korean ambassador to the United Nations, addressed the Lehigh community Tuesday evening in STEPS. When sharing his thoughts about South Korea’s northern neighbors, Hahn did not hold back.
Hahn said the continuation of strong sanctions from the United Nations is vitally important to keep North Korea in line, calling it “the only justifiable way” to inflict pressure on North Korea with the hope it can change its course. The sanctions placed on North Korea last year were the harshest in United Nations’ history.
Hahn said he is critical of North Korea’s reliance on military technologies. He said the country focuses too much on military capabilities and not enough on its own people.
He said he also criticized North Korea’s use of false aggression from the United States to give its people a sense of urgency and nationalism that is then used to consolidate power within the central government.
“There is no hostile policy of the United States toward North Korea,” Hahn said.

Apparently
The comet that wiped out the dinosaurs hit the earth
The crater of that comet is now the Gulf of Mexico
On the opposite side of the earth, the force from the impact was so strong,
That it created the Himalayas instantly.
