I didn't see any quotes from DPRK in the article so ... They're trying to influence a UN vote that happens today on the new set of sanctions (harshest yet) [cbsnews.com] that the US has proposed and will most certainly be ushered in days after they were proposed. North Korea's statement:
The statement said North Korea "strongly warns the U.N. Security Council not to make another big blunder like the one in the past when it earned the inveterate grudge of the Korean nation by acting as a war servant for the U.S. in 1950."
It's their standard MO and I hope it doesn't affect the UN's resolution [hani.co.kr]. Another quote from North Korea:
"Since the United States is about to ignite a nuclear war, we will be exercising our right to a preemptive nuclear attack against the headquarters of the aggressor in order to protect our supreme interest," said the statement carried by the official KCNA news agency.
More details from reuters on what the new sanctions mean [google.com] as well as South Korea's push back [nytimes.com].
And I'm pretty much done with any

I wonder if they realize all we need to do is attack from the undefended parts of NK (i.e. not on the border with SK) and take out their dismal food supply.

I hope you guys realize your government needs to stop attacking countries (and massively bombing people) all around the world and we will all (including you) be safer.

I assume by "you guys" you mean the United States.
1) The USA was not the one that invaded in 1950, the North did.
2) The USA ain't the one that is maintaining tensions. We've had lots of problems with countries since 1950 and most of them haven't lasted this long.
I know you think its chic to be critical of the USA for everything. But given that neither South Korea nor China can bring North Korea up to even basic levels of decency like feeding their own population, maybe this isn't the best example case.

I still think MacArthur was right and that Truman should have kept to selling shoes. [wikipedia.org]

Yes, he was. This "war on terror" is living proof of that.

Implying that three-quarters of generals were dumb sons of bitches, and being offended by MacArthur's hat? Truman earned his terrible approval rating at the time. I don't understand the fawning Truman cult that later arose.
