[quote](Reuters) - South Korea's military has been dropping leaflets into North Korea about democracy protests in [URL="http://www.reuters.com/places/egypt"]Egypt[/URL] and also sent food, medicines and radios for residents as part of a psychological campaign, a legislator said on Friday.
The campaign was aimed at encouraging [URL="http://www.reuters.com/places/north-korea"]North Korea[/URL]ns to think about change, conservative South Korean parliament member Song Young-sun said.
The food and medicines were delivered in light-weight baskets tied to balloons with timers programed to release the items above the target areas in the impoverished North, Song said in a statement.
[URL="http://www.reuters.com/places/south-korea"]South Korea[/URL]'s defense ministry declined to confirm the move, citing its policy of not commenting on sensitive issues in its dealings with the North.
The food items bore a message that they were sent by the South Korean military and were safe for human consumption but could be fed to livestock to test safety, Song said.
The leaflets also carried news of public protests in Libya against the country's long-time leader, Song's office said.
Analysts say the level of Pyongyang's control over communications and movement of people is too tight to make it likely for North Koreans to rise up to the similar type of protests against their leaders.
South Korea's military has resumed its campaign of speaking directly to North Korean residents after the North bombarded an island near a disputed sea border in November, killing four people including civilians.
Tensions on the Korean peninsula rose to the highest level in years after the artillery attack and the sinking of a South Korean navy vessel in March last year, but the two sides have since renewed a dialogue aimed at easing relations.
Their first attempt at talks broke down earlier in February dealing a setback to plans to resume international disarmament talks with the North.[/quote]

Yeah probably, but I don't think it's going to be as big as the European revolutions of the early to mid 1800s after the French Revolution and Napolean spreading around French ideas.
This is a pretty good approach. The North look like assholes if they get mad at another country giving its residents food and medicine (though they'll probably engineer lies about how there were bombs also being dropped or something equally outrageous)

I thought NK had AA batteries all over the place ready to gun down anyone that entered their airspace
They should drop guns and ammunition too.

Maybe North Korea Lied about that
Oh who am i kidding north korea never lies right?
It's cool to see South Korea taking advantage of what's happening in the middle east and northern Africa to their advantage.

I'm hoping this makes an impact.
"Sir, there are no geographical locations indicating any AA defense of any type in North Korean territory."
Any more countries going to rebel? Anyone?
"Dad?, what did you do while all these protests and revolutions were going on?"
"Sat on my Computer and watched."

I bet kim's pissed
I wonder whos next after Korea? China?

Guys, seriously, shut up about China. Their economy is a "tiger" economy, the minimum wage is rising, and they don't really have the same reasons that the Egyptians, Libyans, or North Koreans do to rise up.
It's like saying "ooooh the U.S. is gonna do it next!" It's ridiculous speculation.

It's impossible to cover an entire country's airspace with AA, they probably only have strategic locations like military bases defended.
