Back in 1950s, there was a Korean war, which was a military conflict between the Republic of Korea. A war broke out and thus dividing Korea into two. From then on, there was no sign that North and South Korea could merge together as one again due to their differences in dictatorship. North Korea was aided by the Soviet Union which was a Communist country, and South Korea was aided by United Nations, which is more to the democratic side. This time North Korea fired up to 170 projectiles to South Korea, killing two marines and two civilians, injuring 18 and destroying 20 homes as well as setting up forest fires. Even with this, North Korea warns South Korea of any retaliation. In my opinion, by firing all these missiles, they are trying to disrupt the peace around. It seems that North Korea had been secretly arming up and have been making their defense stronger. This caused a great threat to South Korea and that now, they are sending more troops to the front-line islands as they are afraid that North Korea's firing will not just stop this way. South Korea is now arming up as well to retaliate and go back even harder if North Korea decides to strike up on them. Also now, with United Nations backing up South Korea and China taking sides with the North Korea, it seems like the attack won't be as simple as how it started out to be. If this is not stopped, I reckoned that World War III will likely to arise. With all other countries slowly being brought into the picture, things will get more and more complex and problems will be harder to resolve. So i feel that the United States or even the United Nations should do something about this, and if possible create an appeasement between both parties so that no more violence will be used to solve any problems. When there is violence, it is always the innocents that suffer. -Rowena Leong |
