Whats the chance of S. Korea going into a hot war with N. Korea for sinking their warship? [View All]

With a 3.8% unemployment rate in S. Korea? Imagine S. Korea emptying out its factories to send their young men and women off to their deaths as their money making assembly lines grounded to a halt. Think they are going to do that? I bet they don't. The chaebols aren't going to allow that to happen. Bidness is bidness.

NKorea warns of war if punished for ship sinking

SEOUL, South Korea — Tensions deepened Thursday on the Korean peninsula as South Korea accused North Korea of firing a torpedo that sank a naval warship, killing 46 sailors in the country's worst military disaster since the Korean War.

President Lee Myung-bak vowed "stern action" for the provocation following the release of long-awaited results from a multinational investigation into the March 26 sinking near the Koreas' tense maritime border. North Korea, reacting swiftly, called the results a fabrication, and warned that any retaliation would trigger war. It continued to deny involvement in the sinking of the warship Cheonan.

"If the (South Korean) enemies try to deal any retaliation or punishment, or if they try sanctions or a strike on us .... we will answer to this with all-out war," Col. Pak In Ho of North Korea's navy told broadcaster APTN in an exclusive interview in Pyongyang.

An international civilian-military investigation team said evidence overwhelmingly proves a North Korean submarine fired a homing torpedo that caused a massive underwater blast that tore the Cheonan apart. Fifty-eight sailors were rescued from the frigid Yellow Sea waters, but 46 perished.
