Re: SKorea to make islands near NKorea fortresses

[Guest guest]

Nothing like putting civilians on the front lines for a political statement. Both sides seem like they really want war this time around. I can't imagine why the South wants war at this time since the US isn't likely to help in a serious way while China may help to one degree or another the North. That might only be to push for a diplomatic solution that favors the North. Not only that but the North might have nukes and little reason not to use them.

South Korea's president vowed Tuesday to turn five islands along the tense border with North Korea into "military fortresses" with jobs for permanent civilian communities, including those destroyed in a North Korean artillery attack.
