Anyway you look at it, It's time for some help from someone besides the USA. I for one am tired of fighting every battle out there. The S. Koreans have the most to loose, and the Japs next. Bush has quite enough on his plate right now.

If Japan started arming, and the S. Koreans cut off trade, then the Chinese might start to take notice of the spawn of Satan right at their border. Without China cutting them off, we can only set up defenses against them. America, OTOH, could tell Wally World to find somewhere else to get their crap from. There are many other crap making countries in the world to send our business to.

As a bonus, maybe China;s economy would slow, allowing us to buy some of their gas at a cheaper price. Right now, if we cut back and try to save gas money, we just allow them to buy the gas we should be using cheaper for themselves.

China could disappear tommorrow and it wouldn't set WalMart back more than a couple of days. Wally's sells food for half of what everybody else does and you can be certain they are not getting food from China.

you are correct....one thought though...considering that Japan is a great ally, lose the term "Jap".....it is highly offensive used mainly in WWII and is the same as saying "nigger" really......otherwise, you are spot on..

Not true. America has the most firepower to let loose on the N. Koreans. The S. Koreans have the most to lose.

I like our language. Let's keep it.
