First - I have 2 kids that have been in Iraq, and I'll be going to Afghanistan in a few months. Think a little bit about what I posted before you start calling names.
Second - you make my point. A war in Korea is not something to take lightly. Upwards of 20 million Koreans live within artillery range of nK. A nuke or two lobbed at South Korea might kill 500,000 - a conventional war would likely kill millions. I've been to the DMZ. It has hundreds of high rise apartment buildings.
'Stopping nK' would probably require a preemptive strike with nukes, laying waste to the entire country. We're not going to do that, and neither will anyone else.
So the question remains - how do we live with a nuke nK (and Iran)?
If you had kids in-theatre and still talk about "lack of stomach," then you've got NO excuse for the comment.
There's plenty that can be done w/ respect to NK, and it will be done. But -- of necessity -- it will be done quietly, and very likely not by us.
Thank you for being logical about the situation in Korea.
I often hear knee jerk comments about overthrowing Vicente Fox.....allowing a Chavez clone to control the oil?.....and about overthrowing the Saudi Royals.....allowing the OBL types to control the oil??
People don't think about the big picture, they just want to rush off willy nilly leaving havoc and utter destruction behind.
I've got a question for you: How would you live... if I had a pistol pointed at your head 24/7? We have a choice to make... one has grave consequences... the other has unthinkable ones.
