Interesting article from a month ago. South Korean officials said that it could have been a mine, either one planted lately or an old one from the war. Also admitted there has never been a case of the North torpedoing (is that a word?) a boat from the South. So why would the North do it now? And why sink only 1? I smell BS.

You are correct, there will definitely be no war over this.
No government wants any trouble with NK, And it's not the NK army or the nukes it's the people of NK.
If the NK government falls the people of NK will flood into china and South Korea in one of the worlds largest humanitarian refugee catastrophes ever seen.
Chine nor South Korea could not Handel so many people flooding into they country. So for now NK can do what ever the hell it wants and Kim knows it.

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon's top leadership refused on Thursday to label the sinking of a South Korean ship an act of war.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates says the United States supports the finding that North Korea sank a South Korean warship in March. South Korea announced the finding this week.
Gates and Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, say the next move is up to South Korea. They would not discuss what options the U.S. might have, even though the U.S. is a close ally of the South and maintains tens of thousands of troops on the North Korean border to defend the South.

I don't see how NKs actions are unlawful or anything of this nature. Both sides are still at war. What part of 'at war' do people not understand?
