North Korean Conflict: Update

Ok, so war seems imminant. Already, the situation is esculating; North Korea claims that South Korea 'provokes' them to fire their weapons. They also claim that South Korea is driving them to the 'brink of war'. From the article, it is obvious that North Korea firing on the Yeonpyeong island, a civilian area, is an extremely brutal and aggressive action on North Korea's part, and it should not be tolerated. War is at hand.
If there is war, many people are worried about North Korea's nuclear weapons. I, for one, am not. In South Korea, we have Patriot Missile launchers placed strategically. If North Korea attempts to fire any dangerous weapon, we can simply shoot it down.
