Is North Korea Looking For A War?

In Headliners, My Opinion, Politics on July 2, 2009 at 6:29 pm
According to CNN and South Korea’s Defense Ministry, North Korea is at it again.  This time by testing three short-range missiles off its east coast Thursday.
U.S. Military Communications told CNN that North Korea had issued a warning to mariners similar to the one it issued in April, when it tested a long-range missile.
That April ‘military exercise’ was a nuclear test in May, which threatened U.S. and South Korean ships near its territorial waters.
North Korea is not listening to the warnings of Obama, no surprise.
If you ask me North Korea is looking for a war.  This is their strategy. They want to be able to blame big, bad America when it fires at North Korea when all they were trying to do was test their military weapons.
They claim the Lee regime (Lee Myung-bak, President of South Korea)   is inventing a nuclear threat from North Korea.  That Lee is trying to ignite a war, they continually refer back to the Korean War and the part the United States played, or as they put it, it was America’s fault.

North Korea has fired nuclear missiles and is not stopping, tests or not. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it’s a duck.

They state the nuclear test was a powerful sword, self-defense against the U.S. and it’s followers hostile policies against it, their way of defending the Korean Peninsula .

They state in no uncertain terms that the DPRK is building up their nuclear deterrent to respond to the US invasion with resolute punishment.

I think it’s important for everyone to understand how they think.  It’s really not all that different than those of a radical terrorist, always thinking we are trying to conquer the world.  If they pursue this vendetta and their progression of nuclear weapons will America be left with no choice?  Would it lead to WWIII, or what will undoubtedly be a Nuclear War?
I would really like opinions on this.
