#1 Freedom House appears to have credibility in some of its work that Amnesty International wishes for from people who understand what the word freedom means.

#4 ..justification for severe counter-attack.

Let the NorkS have South Korea to do with as they wish. We're wasting our time and money there.

#5 Not necessarily, B-a-R.

First, the Hamiltonian perspective: we do a lot of trade with SK. Having them jucheized would hurt our economy, though not as badly as theirs.

Second, the Wilsonian: they are a more-or-less democratic state. We generally prefer to support those.

Third, the Jacksonian: the Nork's mistreated our POWs and never surrendered. We owe them.

And, we may need those bases in a couple of decades...

As long as we are out of range of a surprise artillery barage, I don't object to a brigade or so there.
