North Korea threatens to freeze ties with South

Thomas Andre: As the United States has removed North Korea from the list of nations supporting terrorism, there has been threats from the North to cut off all ties with South Korea. The government at Pyongyang feels threatened and insulted by the new president of the South that was has taken a hard line policy of being tough against their neighbors. This is opposite of the aggressive reconciliation policies of Lee's predecessors. Even with all of the progress that has been made between the two nations, there is constant tension between them. They are both ready to go to war at any time and with the new conservative South Korean government increasing tensions with their new approach, only time will tell if this will prove to be a wise decision or a foolhardy one.
