SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea's communist regime has warned of a nuclear war on the Korean peninsula while vowing to step up its atomic bomb-making program in defiance of new U.N. sanctions.

The North's defiance presents a growing diplomatic headache for President Barack Obama as he prepares for talks Tuesday with his South Korean counterpart on the North's missile and nuclear programs.

South Korean President Lee Myung-bak told security-related ministers during an unscheduled meeting Sunday to "resolutely and squarely" cope with the North's latest threat, his office said. Lee is to leave for the U.S. on Monday morning.

A commentary Sunday in the North's main state-run Rodong Sinmun newspaper, carried by the official Korean Central News Agency, claimed the U.S. has 1,000 nuclear weapons in South Korea. Another commentary published Saturday in the state-run Tongil Sinbo weekly claimed the U.S. has been deploying a vast amount of nuclear weapons in South Korea and Japan.

North Korea "is completely within the range of U.S. nuclear attack and the Korean peninsula is becoming an area where the chances of a nuclear war are the highest in the world," the Tongil Sinbo commentary said.

EDIT TO ADD THIS QUESTION . . .

What would be America's moral arguments against a nuclear attack upon us
considering our nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, without mercy,
on civilians -- our 20 year war on Iraq and recent fresh killings of a million
Muslims there?

Our brutality against Vietnam - 4 million dead there.
And our general and constant acts of violence all over the world for centuries.

Standing alone, of course, our genocide against the native American and the planet.
Our enslavement of the African in America.

Would we say we deserve justice . . . mercy?

1. Would you like to point the class to a link that verifies your

4 million vietnamese dead???

2. Would like to avoid the moral issue of America's violence . . . . .

or merely mete out moral argument based on numbers of reported deaths the Pentagon
will actually acknowledge ... ?

3. Ah.....Bogus posit rebuffed.

4. Thanks for making clear there is no moral issue for you . . .

7. Thanks for making it clear that you'll make shit up to create a point.

Which really means you're a lying sack of shit. Really.

There's a moral point for you.

5. Are you suggesting that we DESERVE to be nuked?

You're using the use of force in World War II to justify it? Seriously?

We didn't start World War II OR Vietnam.

6. Would wrongs be righted by another huge wrong?

Not in my philosophy. But if it'd make you feel better, maybe you could email NK and ask them to aim at your house.
