I heard on the news today that the government is saying that any conflict in Korea would not affect us. And I realise it's probably all sabre rattling, but does anyone else worry that this could turn into a more serious regional conflict?
As in if China dig their heels in behind North Korea and the States behind the South (as they have already shown with an upcoming naval exercise), could this escalate?

Normally I would say it's nothing to worry about, but North Korea is such a wild card and the Dear Leader Kim Jong-il doesn't always come across as the most rational of people, even when he's in the best of health. So it's hard to rule anything out, even though war would be unthinkable. I'm hoping for some excellent rhetoric--the North is always good for a quote or two--but that is all of course.
If anything it may take the spotlight off the Taiwan Strait for a few weeks. As to whether it will affect the ECFA etc. I don't think so.
