Pot to kettle: you're black

So the North Koreans made rare move of asking for a meeting with American-led U.N. forces in South Korea today. Their goal, apparently, was to reduce mounting tensions between the the crazy communist side of Korea (North), and the less crazy and not at all communist side (South, obviously).
I guess the North Koreans are worried that things are starting to get a little unfriendly between the two sides and they could be -- wait for this shocker -- on the brink of war.
Just to be clear here, it's been a long while since the two Koreas were friends. Since the Korean war in the early/mid fifties, actually, so this tension isn't exactly a new thing.
Anyway, this time around the North Koreans are pissed about upcoming US/South Korean military drills that are going to be taking place.
Again, the North is always said to have their fingers on the big red "nuclear kaboom" button, so it seems a little weird that they'd be surprised that the South is getting a little more prepared in the event that shit hits the fan.
Again, I digress.
The truly amusing part of this story, I think, is that the crazies in North Korea called the meeting to diffuse tension, yet at the same time their "newspaper"* said the following: "This is nothing but reckless provocative acts of pushing the tense situation on the Korean peninsula closer to the outbreak of a nuclear war."
So, while the North Koreans were trying to say, "hey, chill, lets be friends and blow each other up", the country is also saying, "hey, we should chill and not blow each other up, but if you guys don't stop preparing in the event that we decide to bomb you, we're going to blow you the fuck up."
That's some seriously twisted logic. Only the North Koreans could try to diffuse this kind of conflict by threatening to nuke their adversary.
In any event, does anyone else find it a tad hypocritical for the North Koreans to try to stop these military training sessions (which happen every year and haven't usually been a problem) because they think it's a prequel to an invasion, when the same pissed off dudes that worship a dead leader are preparing to "test" long-range missiles.
Chew on that one.
*NOTE:I put the word newspaper in quotes here because it's really hard to have a traditional, unbiased newspaper in a communists country)
