Does this mean that I need to start stocking up on rations, water, and batteries again as I await the end of the world due to the Dokdo crisis?:

South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun said Tuesday that the East Sea islets of Dokdo are a symbol of Korea’s sovereignty restoration, accusing Japan of attempting to claim territorial rights to its former colonial land.

In a special statement broadcast live nationwide, the president vowed to directly confront Japan’s claims to the South Korean Dokdo islets to protect Korea’s history of independence, as well as its sovereignty.

The president began his statement by declaring that, “Dokdo is our land. It is not merely our land. It has a special historical meaning.”
Roh declared that his government would completely review its countermeasures against Japan’s repeated claims to the easternmost South Korean islets, ending its quiet diplomacy as far as Dokdo is concerned.

He emphasized that South Korea will deal sternly with Japan’s physical challenges, stressing that his government would never abandon Dokdo despite any expense or sacrifice to be required.

“South Korea will mobilize all its national and diplomatic resources to take issue with Japan’s unreasonable demands and press Japan to rectify its wrongdoing.”
The president then said that Seoul reserves the right to register Korean names for undersea features in the waters surrounding Dokdo.

I’m sure the Japanese are shaking in their boots now that President Roh has declared (drum roll please) “Diplomatic War” against Japan. Hasn’t he already declared “Diplomatic War” before? What good has that done? It would help if Korea knew how to conduct diplomacy instead of constantly whining which in no way helps its claims to the Dokdo isles. Korea has by the far the strongest case for ownership of the Dokdo Isles and the Japanese know this. So they have to marginalize Korea internationally in order to down play the Korea’s more legitimate claims. Korea continues just to play into Japanese hands with the off the wall responses to the Dokdo issue.

Is it just me or is President Roh sounding more and more like a lame duck?
