The threat by NK that they will turn Seoul into a sea of fire is what it is, a threat.

Trust me, no one wants ‘peace’ on the Korean peninsula more than Kim in NK. He’s got it good. Why lose it by starting a war that’s he’s sure to lose?[/quote]

I bet that’s what Neville Chamberlain was thinking about Hitler…

Interesting note from Wikipedia:

“Chamberlain believed passionately in peace for many reasons (most of which are discussed in the article Appeasement), thinking it his job as Britain’s leader to maintain stability in Europe; like many people in Britain and elsewhere, he thought that the best way to deal with Germany’s belligerence was to treat it with kindness and meet its demands. He also believed that the leaders of people are essentially rational beings, and that Hitler must necessarily be rational as well.”

I don’t want to be misunderstood as appeasing N Korea is the way to go. You can’t really compare Hitler to Kim of NK. Both are ruthless but are different animals. Kim of NK wants nothing more than finding a way to continue the status quo so that he can enjoy his his life.
