Taking away their internets is a means of retaliation? Really? So...

1. While heavily regulated, the internet is where North Koreans can get dribbles of non-censored information, and communicate with the outside world. And taking that away helps how?

2. How many of the populace were actually affected by this? 5%?

3. This retaliation amounts to no more than throwing sand in someone's face in a sandbox.

4. No matter what language or what country, the internets are 99% noise, 1% information.

What concerns me mroe is this: we look upon North Korea as a backwards nation that is years behind in everything including technology. Their attack on Sony revealed that they are capable of doing more than we expected.

Perhaps we have been underestimating our enemy.
