Leaflets is a pathetic retaliation to Cheonan and Yeonpyeong bombardment. If they wouldn't want to risk war by committing retaliation then they should just get over it. If they really object to bloody provocation they really should retaliate immediately.

Flying leaflets is so pathetic imo and it gains South nothing but an image of being a provocateur. North will think South as weak too in the end.

Military exercise however is well within South's sovereign rights and EVEN that irks North even more. But flying leaflets.....it's like being a hopeless helpless online activist while South is a whole sovereign country. To me in the end it only made South to look silly and stupid both to North Korea and international community.

It's akin to simply refusing to talk to your neighbor because that neighbor robbed and bloodied you
