Second Korean War?

Since 1953, North Korea and South Korea have lived a shaky and separate life on the two different areas of the DMZ ( demilitarized zone). The North is poor Communist region with strong military and is ruled with a iron fist. The South is a democratic wonderland that is far advanced in technology then it's counterpart. After sixty years one man is trying destroy the peace surrounding the Korea and that man is Kim Jong Un.

Last month, North Korea announced the armistice( peace treaty to not attack one another) " nullified".  They also threatened to launch a " pre-emptive missile strike" on the U.S and South Korea. The U.S dispatched B-2 stealth bombers over South Korea to intimidate the North. Concerned about Kim's intentions the U.S said it dispense $1 billion for missile defenses in Alaska and California. Former U.S ambassador Donald Gregg said " The Korean peninsula is heading into a difficult and very dangerous period." North Korea has been troubling the U.S for a quite some  time. They detonated their first nuclear bomb in 2006 and three years later they did it again. In 2010 the North revealed they have a uranium-enrichment plant which was thought to be for creating nuclear weapons. Finally in February they once again tested another launch against the wishes of it's only ally, China.

South Korea's president Park Geun-hye said " the North's threats are intended to strengthen Kim's leadership at home and put pressure on the U.S and South Korea". Park has assured that South Korea will strike back against North Korea if attacked but also she wants to build "trust" with them. Even though it seems Kim doesn't like Americans he likes basketball and  is good friends with NBA player Dennis Rodman. He attended a game and party in Pyongyang. After his return Rodman wanted "Obama to do one thing: Call him. He suggested that Kim doesn't want to go war with but his past bizarre behavior adduces otherwise.

I think Kim is a power-hungry dictator who will stop at nothing to further his reign. He doesn't care for his people: it's said that North Korea that there is little to none Internet access, poverty rages across the country, and people live in fear of being being sent to camps if they rebel against him. We have seen his type before and know that they need to be kept in order at all times. What do think America should do?

In conclusion I hope North Korea gets a leader that will finally reunite the North and South together and end this petty conflict. The last thing the world needs is more war. I know peace is hard to obtain but I believe if enough determination is put forth then every issue can be resolved.
