US and Korea "Slipping Into War"

[Drake Tungsten]

In general, they were about 6-12 inches shorter

Damn, I can't imagine being 4 feet tall. Poor kids.

[Kramerman]

jeez... 4ft tall... really sad... their wangs must be insanely small. not that their violent nature would make it likely for them to find a successful mate anyway. Is their education years behind as well? id hate to be one of them

Yeah, if South Korean teenagers averaged 5 feet, which they don't. But they are still pretty short.

Oh, for reference, the piece was in the NYT Magazine.

How long are we going to keep our eyes closed and avoid the war with DPRK, I wonder?

W and his supporters rally to fight for the oilfields at the same moment as we have a rogue opportunist oppressing millions and obtaining nuclear weapons.

Instead encouraging Iran to obtain nuclear and biologic weapons by leaving DPRK alone and invading Iraq, I'd like to see US finally actually taking the responsibilities of the world police -title it took from the UN in late 90's, and destroy the brutal serfdom of Kim Jong-Il.

I think it's better to call it the Worlds Godfather.

[Pekka]

Hey I'm all for destroying that place. We have all valid reasons to get it on. They have nukes, and they're proud of it. They hate us and say they will use it against us. So.. what are we waiting for? Let's get it on and let they chips fall as they may.

Then when we have destroyed its nuclear capacity with a massive air strike, we can put Kim to a cage and drive it around NK and see how his magic powers can't defeat a simple lock. Then we fly him to international waters where I can wrestle him.

Well saddle up partner and put troops where your mounth is! Yeehaw! Oh and if you could get South Korea to go along with this, that'd be just peachy.

Q^3 linked to a heartwrenching article about this several months ago.

what, this article?

it's a tragedy about the inability to absorb too many more refugees on the part of skorea.
i wish there was more that one could do...

we are still at war with nkorea, actually.
we are not going to restart hostilities. over 10 million people live less than 50 miles from thousands of hardened and hidden artillery pieces. over a million troops are stationed less than 2 miles from each other, ready to wipe each other out in the opening minutes of the war.
if he has wmd, he won't hesitate to use them, either on seoul or pusan or taejon or tokyo or any other major city he can reach.
are you willing to pay such a high blood price?
it's a difficult question. especially for koreans: faced with destroying everything they've built in the last fifty years and sending 40 million back into the ranks of the destitute or liberating 20 million from the clutches of evil... possibly at the cost of many millions of lives on both sides...
i'm not ready to pay it at this time. there's got to be another way.

Then when we have destroyed its nuclear capacity with a massive air strike,

we may know where his nuclear capability lies. but we cannot wipe out his entire military with an air strike. the instant he's attacked, we'll have millions of soldiers pouring over the dmz.

sad, no?

give me a gun, a really nice and big ****ing gun, drop me off in pyongyang.
i'll have this sorted out in no time.

[Vandal-1]

I find this to very troubling but it' something that we have known about even before we deployed troops to Iraq.It could result in Iraq quickly becoming excessive baggage to the US machine as well as one of the final nails in the Bush coffin. The esculation in Nuclear weapons will not prompt the build up of conventional force however in any targetable area.( at least not openly) IMO The Japanese if armed and motivated to deal with a threat to their homeland would be able to deal with what is left of the NK and SK.We have nutured the Nippon-jin for 50 years and they must now prepare
to help us help them.I theink they can do it secretively
remember Pearl Harbor.

Ditto... give me a Barret .50 cal sniper rifle and this little diplomatic conflict is over.

[gunkulator]

Let the Chinese deal with their problem child. They've propped up this mess of a nation for years and now are trying to back out. Sorry. No dice.

If the US gets involved to rid the world of this nasty regime, how long before the rest of the world starts howling about imperialism again? I say we pass on this one.
