North Korea typically behaves like an attention craving two year old who throws tantrums whenever anyone else is getting any attention. There's been a lot of stuff going on in the world lately (Japanese earthquake/nuclear reactors, Egyptian uprising, Libya war, Osama bin Laden, etc.) but not a peep out of North Korea. That's not like them. Normally there would be a missile launch, a mortar attack, a showdown over sea lanes, a nuclear test, something to refocus the world on them, but they've just been meek and quiet and out of sight. As happens with a two year old when things get a little too quiet, you wonder what they're up to. The lack of noise from them may be a sign that something's up there.</P> <P>I dont really think they've suddenly grown up and matured, so why haven't we heard anything fom them? Are they still behaving like a two year old, but the press has grown weary of it and stopped reporting their tantrums? (Not likely.) Or, are they doing something and keeping a low proile hoping no one notices until it's too late? Maybe there's some internal dissent they're dealing with?</P> <P>I don't know what's going on over there, but this is atypical behavior from the North Koreans and atypical behavior is usually a bad thing.</P> Mon, 09 May 2011 12:28:01 GMT gardenman 2011-05-09T12:28:01Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/North-Korea/m-p/76914#M42119 <P>Does anyone else think North Korea's been a little too quiet lately?
