"It's not fair that only the U.S. can have nuclear weapons — the U.S. is not the police of the world, it does not represent democracy in the world," she said.

Not fair?
Try living under the boot of your benevolent neighbor to the north.

(This is another reminder that those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. Fools.)

I'm going to a little town in upstate NY today to help memorialize my brother : one of the "walking wounded" of the Korean war : a conflict Dean Acheson - Truman's Secretary of State - called " a nasty little police action "; a conflict that took away some undefinable part
of the brother I had hero-worshipped; that killed some of his friends, and that left many others maimed for life.

There will be some other veterans of that " Forgotten War "
present : many of who are bitter about the way North Korea was coddled and nurtured after the Cease Fire was signed;
bitter about self-serving politicians who gave the Communists the means to present a nuclear threat to the world; bitter about the younger generation of South Koreans, who screamed and ranted about the presence of the very troops standing between them and their acquisitive neighbors; bitter about a world which begs for American help in times of trouble, but spits on our flag, and detests our countrymen once the immediate threat is lifted.

We'll stand together, and honor Mike's ashes today , as comrades-in-arms should; but the underlying question will be: Was it worth it ? Did any of it matter ?
