A little correction to my post - I read the thread title, and assumed you meant with the US, then read the poll question, and saw you meant war on the Korean peninsula. So I'll revise and say it's a question of how you interpret Pyongyang's statement that their test was due to US "hostility", whatever that's supposed to mean. I mean, the US showed "hostility" to Saddam Hussein. They've done nothing like that to NK. What, does saying "don't break international arms treaties" count as "hostility" now?

Anyway, point is, I see what you mean - a skirmish with S. Korea I could see happening. Will it actually happen? I'd say not likely.
