		<description><![CDATA[As the situation stands on Sunday afternoon in the US and overnight in Korea, the skies over Pyongyang and the DMZ have cleared and all indications are that the South Koreans will carry through their promised live fire exercise on Yeonpyeong Island in the morning.

The UN Security Council emergency session, taking place  today at the behest of the Russians to try and stop the RoK artillery exercise and defuse tensions, will amount to nothing as the Americans are not on board. Politically South Korea (henceforth the RoK) can not draw down from these exercises as the government almost fell over the lack of response to the North's shelling of civilian targets on Peonyeong on 23 November.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=runninglocal.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6026863&amp;post=464&amp;subd=runninglocal&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
