Stockpile the tree bark if there is any more left ...

Just for discussion: how does a citizen prepare for war?

I suppose that in North Korea it means stocking up on extra food supplies, such as grass and tree bark.

Yeah, but drive a car in Asia, and particularly in Seoul, Korea, and after a few hours, they will have earned your awe and admiration.

It seems Kim is taking a page from the Islamist dictators handbook. His people are starving and undoubtably getting a little restless, so he orders Acme's 'Create an Enemy' kit. Guaranteed (hopefully) to deflect the populace's rising discontentment with an inept ruler.

Sorry Kim, no food from the USA to prop up your pathetic Stalinist state. Deal with it.

"How does a citizen prepare for war?

If it's a NoKo citizen you're talking about, he takes a lot of vitamin E to combat those horrid age spots that appear on malnourished skin in response to radiation.

And stretching exercises. You know, those wierd slo-mo Asian versions of warm-ups, so they won't pull a muscle when they bend over and kiss their asses goodbye.

Or smuggled oil.

Well I keep reading on here everybody pointing to
the Chinese as the mover and pusher of N. Korea,
when in fact in was Stalin's little puppet and
Stalin signed a pact with Beijing/Moscow that got
the Chinese to send their 120,000 down in the N.Korea
were 12,000-20,000 UN - US/UK and a couple of other
countries. Chosin Res.

Stalin was boycotting the UN at the time the UN agreed to
have the War.

I am trying to understand why China is looked at even
today as the user of N. Korea, when it is Bill Clinton who
helped N. Korea go nuclear and send them food.

Why? Because Soviet Union fell apart and during Yelstin,
Russia went belly up. Russia needed cash and N. Korea had no cash so who better than Clinton to fill the void of Russia. You know his foreign policy "EQUALIZE all nations"

No there is no doubt that China has her plans, but China's biggest worry about N. Korea is millions of straving N. Koreans flooding in the country. China maintaining status quo is far more important than stirring up the N. Koreans.

Russia is the mover and shaker behind the scenes to stop the war in Iraq, they have the most to loose, they are owed billions and they need the cash.

I can't help but remember Bush saying about Putin - being friends, yet wasn't long after the speech about Axis of Evil. As things stand today it seems directed at Russia and Clinton.

Also, before 9/11 somebody was selling stocks and made money and to this date it has never been revealed just who made the money, they had to have had knowledge about what was going to happen. I would still like to know who sold the stocks.

It has been the liberals/socialist in this country most pleased with N. Korea demanding recognition by US.

What can they get ready for? to be turned into dust?
