Appears everyone is talking sweet to each other on the Korean peninsula

North Korea calls for more dialogue amid tensions

By the CNN Wire Staff
January 1, 2011 -- Updated 0946 GMT (1746 HKT)

(CNN) -- North Korea on Saturday urged better ties with South Korea, warning that a war in the peninsula would amount to a "nuclear holocaust," South Korea's Yonhap News Agency reported.

"Confrontation between north and south should be defused as early as possible," the North said in a New Year's editorial, according to Yonhap. "If a war breaks out on this land, it will bring nothing but a nuclear holocaust." snip

In its own New Year's message, Seoul said it was hopeful the coming months would bring changes.

"In the New Year of 2011, I am confident that we will be able to establish peace on the Korean peninsula and continue sustained economic growth," South Korea's President Lee Myung-bak said.

Told ya. Chaebol aren't going to shut down their factories running at full output to send their workers off to die. War is bad for bidness.
