N. Korea Threatens War Throughout Asia-Pacific (Politics)

VERY SCARY. Bush people, please step back from your usual brinksmanship! We must calm this baby down.

N. Korea: Blockade means war (CNN):
______________
North Korea is warning that any U.S.-led blockade against it could spark an "all out" war that would engulf much of the surrounding region, including Japan.

A statement published in state-run media Tuesday warned that retaliation could include "all possible means and ways a sovereign state can take," adding that any such action would be "limitless."

"Nobody can vouch that this blockade operation will not lead to such a serious development as an all-out war," the statement went on.

The stark warning comes after the United States and its allies started cracking down on an alleged North Korean trade in illicit drugs and weapons....

Last week, after months of allegations, North Korea made what was seen as its first public confirmation that it possesses nuclear weapons and was willing to use them in response to threats posed by the United States.
