Korean Good News?

The tension between North and South Korea seems to be subsiding....and that may be great news for the world. No one wants a major war to break out on the Korean Peninsula.

The border between the two has been reopened for business purposes as the South has factories in the North.

Also, Kim Jong Il (aka; Gopher in a pant suit) is saying he wants to sign a peace treaty with the U.S. Well....isn't that special?!

“We can ease tensions and remove the danger of war on the peninsula when the United States abandons its hostile policy and signs a peace treaty with us,” Mr. Kim said in a commentary carried on Pyongyang Radio, which broadcasts North Korean government statements abroad.

Washington has said that negotiating a peace treaty with Pyongyang is possible only as part of a broader process that addresses the North’s nuclear disarmament. North Korea conducted its second nuclear test in May, and there is a growing suspicion among analysts in Seoul that the North is trying to win diplomatic recognition from Washington while also being accepted as a nuclear power.

The United States headed the United Nations forces that fought on South Korea’s behalf during the Korean War and afterward signed the truce. North Korea has tried for years to drag various American administrations into peace talks while arguing that it was building nuclear weapons because of Washington’s “hostile policies.”

Is this true peace breaking out....or is it a lull before the storm??

"As they are saying peace and safety, destruction will come on them suddenly." Jesus
