Under newly inaugurated President Park Geun-hye, South Korea's Defense Ministry, which often brushes off North Korean threats, has looked to send a message of strength in response to the latest comments from Pyongyang.
We must remember that the same thing that defined our strength on that day should define our strength in response -- a nation that unites people from every faith, culture and background in a common purpose.
Its response to the response is: "The government has not yet recognised the changed mood in the House and the strength of our resolve to achieve change" is pretty tough for them - equivalent to a red-faced, foot-stamping tantrum from a less inhibited body.
