How does one go about gelding a eunuch????

[RightWhale]

Harvey didn't say Rumsfeld would find it easy.

[F.J. Mitchell]

Not a toughie-simple:
World opinion, good or bad, costs US tax-payers nothing.
Case closed.

[F.J. Mitchell]

LOL!

[Chairman_December_19th_Society]

Case closed.

That's where I fall too, but I was trying to view this through a pol's eyes--who often have a different perception of reality than you or me.

[F.J. Mitchell]

Our Politicians are beginning to sound like my parents (God Bless them) when my brother and I ocassionally raised hell. "What will the neighbors think?" they would say. I spent a whole lot of my life worrying about what the neighbors think, until one day I decided to just let the neighbors worry about what I think.

Our politicians haven't as yet reached that plateau of rationality.

All the above is political speak for: "I see your point."

[cynicom]

I have in mind the current hunger problem, not "what if".

[Fred Hayek]

Little Kim getting the "Ceaucescu" would be the best possible outcome. Then the South will have one heck of a time integrating the North. A poster on this board previously suggested setting up a "puppet regime" after the implosion. Bad term, however, unlike East Germany, where the people did have some access to the West in spite of the Stasi, in the case of North Korea, you are dealing with a people who have been isolated, brainwashed (and thoroughly messed up), and so conditioned to living in what amounts to the perfect police state. The Kim dynasty had outdone Stalin and Mao on this one. It may take a generation or two for the North to be brought up to speed before a full integration can take place.
Of course the North's view of integrating the peninsula would be to launch a bunch of human wave attacks, and wind up turning the entire peninsula into a glass parking lot. But that doesn't matter to Little Kim, the psycho hedgehog. He's safe in his bunker. Or so he hopes.

[F.J. Mitchell]

Tiny Kim is looking for something better than plaform shoes to give himself a little stature. He is a bug that will eventually have to be stepped on, either by his own hungry populace or by someone else.

[TexasRepublic]

Pretty harsh there. Since I doubt the average NK citizen has weapons, how would you suggest they take matters into their own hands against a well armed, well trained military?

It happened in Romania. All it takes is widespread misery and some incident to start the ball rolling downhill.

[JOE43270]

I agree. People need to wake up. That is why we fight wars. The people that want to be against wars don't realize that if we don't fight them we will be the ones going to the farms, death camps, or what ever you want to call them. God Bless America and all who have defended HER Past, Present, and the future to come.

[Polyxene]

If these poor people are starving, they won't be very good workers and won't last very long. Hard to maintain a population that way.

[JasonC]

Yes it is easy to say, and hard to do. No, there is no great mystery in it, no special insight or awareness required, no information beyond what one sees other men doing to one's own relations. Everywhere and always, men have the option to simply not tolerate being treated like animals. When they tolerate it, they are treated like animals.

[hinckley buzzard]

When the N. Korean system reaches a point of near-collapse and decides to go out in a blaze of glory, it will very much be our problem.

Like all other moribund regimes, NK will go out, not with a bang but a whimper.
