"Second that the goooobermint finally woke up and realized they must militarize the BORDERS in order to keep out the terrorists!"

Even though that was announced today, it's a little late, IMHO. The only way to make it work would be to sweep the country first. That can't happen.

Isn't the conventional artillery density enough to pretty much destroy anthing around Seoul and points north? I'm certainly wrong, but if dear leader wants to forcefully reunify, nuking the south would be counter productive. He wants to hurt us.

Both leaders of the Koreas (N&S) are nuts. Primarily our military hasn't been there to deter the North from invading the South but rather to keep the South from going North! The token presence on the DMZ wouldn't stop a mosquito from penetrating to the south, much less a determined invasion. That's why we keep a supply of nuke tipped artillery shells on the DMZ. The terrain of the country naturally leads to a sort of automatic channelization of forces. Essentially the terrain would force them to bunch up and move slow, so after the landmines and such had attrited them, there would be the option of those "special" warheads. Our presence there after so many years of a nervous ceasefire, no longer makes sense. The South is so much economically stronger than the starving North, that our re-alignment makes sense.
