"Only because you put gum in my hair, " says Nathan's twin, Sarah Kore in response to his accusations. And then they turn from in each other, using the silent treatment and the threat of their childish tempers to try and settle the fight.
This little incident of bickering and arguing between two children is an almost an exact comparison to the fighting between N. Korea and S. Korea except that the Korea's have nuclear arms that can kill millions and Sarah and Nathan only have their fists and teeth.
And as Americans we don't do much of anything except back S. Korea up with with a few thousand soldiers and some fancy weapons, waiting in case something should happen between the two ever fighting countries.
But, according to a CNN article, it seems that S. Korea and N. Korea are on speaking terms again--for now. South Korea seems to be getting a lot of attacks that N. Korea continually denies. One in which 46 people were killed from a torpedo attack on a warship.
And the second, according to AFP "when the North bombarded a South Korean border island, killing four people including civilians."
But in the long run what everyone wants is a little peace. If S. Korea has been taken advantage of then N. Korea needs to apologize for their actions instead of trying to hide and lie and cover their tracks. But if there were no actions made by N. Korea then a source needs to be found for these deaths in S. Korea.
N. Korea has the fourth largest military in the world, and here everyone is sitting around bickering. Instead of constantly pointing fingers, lets find some real proof to support all these accusations and find out what's really going on between these two countries before something truly serious happens.
Honestly, in the end, it would be nice if just everyone would quit cracking their knuckles (aka doing their nuclear tests) and stop threatening to throw punches (aka threatening nuclear wars).
