Recently, a North Korean submarine sunk a South Korean. Even more recently investigators pulled the shell of a North Korean torpedo from the wreckage. "How has the international community responded?" you ask.
China refuses to accept the investigation's results which point the finger at North Korea, but urges restraint.
Japan's leaders scolded North Korea.
America's reaction "strongly condemned" the actions.
South Korea pledges to take "stern action."
North Korea and South Korea have conflicted since their inception. The two nations spawned as aftermath of World War II and these predecessors of the Cold War remain at war still today. While it would be simple to blame the issues of today on current leaders, the roots of the problem must be confronted.
The Cold War ended with the fall of the Soviet Union, for the Soviet Union and United States. The aftershock still lingers in North and South Korea. Wonder why there are so many problems between the neighbors on the Korean Peninsula? Consider the former U.S.S.R. and the good ole U.S.A.
Still, something must be done to fix the communism/democracy struggle which meets face-to-face in North and South Korea, the issue can not be pushed aside much longer.
