Clancy Game "Warmongering" to North Korea

In November, Red Storm Entertainment will release "Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 2," a first-person shooting game that is somewhat rooted in real-world fact. Designed for Nintendo Game Cube and PCs, the game is a "fast-paced, realistic slaughter-fest" involving North Korean, Chinese, Russian, British, French, and American forces. According to Red Storm, the game isn't intended to slur North Korea, but they think differently.

It's already attracted North Korea's attention. In a curt review, one of its government newspapers called the game "proof" of U.S. warmongering.

"Through propaganda, entertainment and movies," read a recent online commentary in the Tongil Newspaper, Americans "have shown everyone their hatred for us. This may be just a game to them now, but a war will not be a game for them later. In war, they will only face miserable defeat and gruesome deaths."

If I recall correctly, at one time Saddam Hussein also said something about "miserable defeat and gruesome deaths." So, I guess the world can prepare for another Mother of All Battles.
