Just in case there wasn’t enough going on in the world, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan will now have to share our news headlines with more than just Iraq.
The Korean war has never officially ended, and that became very apparent earlier today. The following is an AP story on Yahoo! News:
SEOUL, South Korea – North and South Korean soldiers briefly exchanged gunfire along their border Monday, the office of South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said.
North Korean soldiers fired several shots toward a South Korean guard post in the eastern part of the Demilitarized Zone that divides the Korean Peninsula. South Korean soldiers immediately returned fire, a statement said.
No South Korean soldiers were hurt. It was unclear if anyone was hurt on the northern side and comment there was not immediately available.
The U.N. Military Armistice Commission, which supervises the agreement that ended the 1950-53 Korean War, said in a statement it would investigate.
According to a June 7 CNN.com story, the U.S. has told South Korea it would like to withdraw a third of its 37,000 troops stationed on the peninsula by the end of next year.
I suppose Bush needs to pull troops for the next Iraqi “surge” … After all, there’s no oil in Korea.

Well that makes sense, since he is nothing but an “oily robber baron thug” anyways.
