North Korea Angered Over Ghost Recon 2

Fennario writes "According to Stars and Stripes Pacific's translation of a North Korean government newspaper article, UbiSoft's forthcoming Ghost Recon 2 videogame, which envisions a near-future North Korea/China conflict with US involvement, has already attracted the reclusive country's attention. In a curt review, a North Korean government-run newspaper called the game proof of U.S. warmongering. 'Through propaganda, entertainment and movies,' read a recent online commentary in the Tongil Newspaper. Americans 'have shown everyone their hatred for us. This may be just a game to them now, but a war will not be a game for them later. In war, they will only face miserable defeat and gruesome deaths.' Given the steep learning curve of previous incarnations of Ghost Recon, it's conceivable many may face miserable defeat and gruesome deaths anyhow."

    Yeah, does anyone seriosly care what Kim Jong Il has to say?
    This is a guy who kidnapped a S. Korean director to make a socialist version of Godzilla.
    If he's not trying to use his probably bogus nuke capabilities to blackmail the world into helping him prop up his regime, he's threatening Japan or S. Korea. I say screw N. Korea. The only reason we don't just bomb that whole freaking disaster back to the Stone Age is because the S. Koreans still believe they can save what's left of the people of N Korea, oh and the 30,000 pieces of N Korean artillery in range of Seoul. Quite frankly though, reunification there is going to be an order of magnitude more messy than say, the reunification of Germany.

    Until then, screw Kim Jong Il and the mess he's leaving this planet with.
