North vs South Korea Historical Perspective

The Guardian website has an awesome interactive google map of every military conflict between North and South Korea over the last half century.  Follow the link and then just click on a dot to see what happened and when.  It is surprising how many there are.

I think the map puts the recent attacks in perspective.  These incidents happen all the time.  The rest of the world media appears to be overreacting when most Koreans I talk to seem to think this is just another incident consistent with how North Korea has been acting for the last fifty years.
