North Korea, you so crazy.

We all know its true.  Check out this link to see just how crazy they are.  Their attack on Yeonpyeong this week exemplified their craziness.  North Korea unleashed a barrage of artillery shells on the small island injuring many and killing 4.  The attack, which the North vows they won't hesitate to repeat, supposedly occurred because they were pissed that South Koreans were firing near the border during training.

I had never heard of the island, so I immediately Googled it the moment I heard about the attack.  It is relatively far from me, but I say 'relatively' because nothing is really that far away when you consider the whole country is about the size of Indiana.



This is pretty scary stuff, especially considering the nuclear plant that was unveiled earlier this month.  Recently, a Stanford professor, Siegfried Hecker, was taken on a tour of the new uranium enrichment plant in North Korea, which is for *cough* "nuclear power" *cough*

The basketball-loving dictator Kim Jong-Il is crazy and old.  Some people theorized that the attack had something to do with his son, Kim Jong Un, taking over for him soon.  When the first picture of Kim Jong Un since he was an adolescent was released this year, people thought that the baby-faced/plastic-surgery-faced 26 year old didn't look capable of leading the country.  Maybe this attack was to show that he is the real deal.  


Look out world
