My Comment: My Godfather is Korean, and I have been to South Korea on many occasions. The South Koreans are a very proud and nationalistic people ..... the fact that they bit their tongue this week after North Korea's blatant provocation is surprising to say the least.

If I was a betting man, I would bet that the next North Korean provocation will not be met lightly, and if that is the case .... the possibility of a full scale shooting exchange on the DMZ will become more than than likely.
