SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — The United States flew two supersonic bombers over the Korean Peninsula on Tuesday in a show of force against North Korea, South Korean officials said.

The U.S. often sends powerful warplanes in times of heightened animosities with North Korea, and flew B-1B bombers several times this year as the North conducted a series of banned ballistic missile tests.

Tuesday’s flights by B-1Bs came shortly after the death of a U.S. college student who was recently released by North Korea in a coma following more than 17 months of captivity.

Seoul’s Defense Ministry said the bombers engaged in routine exercises with South Korean fighter jets aimed at showing deterrence against North Korea.

3. I'm waiting for the day

I'm waiting for the day that the world figures out that you can't kill your way to peace.

But I'm not holding my breath.

A lifeless rock floating in space is pretty peaceful.

11. I'd be happy when governments understood that

you don't need to be cruel and controlling to have peace and prosperity in your country. No reason for North Korea to treat it's people that way. No reason Saudi Arabia needs to treat women and gays. No reason any religion NEEDS to mistreat people. I guess because a bronze age book means more than the lives of people in the here and now.
