'I will turn South Korea into ashes' - Kim Jong-il

Oh crap. Looks like trouble's a-brewin' along the 38th parallel.
Crazy old Kim Jong-il (pictured) is threatening military action which would renew the Korean War.
It seems that South Korean President Lee Myung-bak, the Robin Hood politician pictured on this blog a couple of days ago holding flowers and looking benevolent, has upset North Korea.
He has refused to apologise for remarks by one of his generals who suggested South Korean would attack Kim Jong-il and co. if they suspected that the North were likely to launch atomic bombs in their direction.
North Korean - which the Chinese media refer to by its hilarious full title: The Democratic People's Republic of Korea - has branded the South Korean President a 'traitor'.
Can you really call the Head of State of another country a traitor?
The handy thing is that if fighting breaks out, there'll be no need to declare war.
A formal peace treaty was never signed between the Koreas so, technically, they've been at war since 1950.
