[quote:EyE Of The Sparrow:MV8yMTg1NjQxXzM2OTkyNDQxXzYzNzg0NkNC] [quote:Anonymous Coward 33509203:MV8yMTg1NjQxXzM2OTkyMzcxXzREMUEwMzhE] I could see a symbolic attack tomorrow on Easter -- given the high percentage of Christians in South Korea. After the United States, South Korea claims the most Christians per capita in the world. North Korea, as a nation that abhors Christianity may see this as an opportune time.

Why now though? Why all of a sudden?
Look no further then China.
WW3 will begin as a war by proxy. All the superpowers have their own pieces to play before they get directly involved themselves.
