#2 Unlike Korea, we've pretty much cleared out a problem that anchored military forces in the immediate region for nearly a generation. Korea still festers. Iraq is pretty much an Iraqi problem. Korea has become the problem for far too many to ignore anymore, yet even more dangerous because idiots with good intentions allowed the situation to develop to potential horrors that no one really wants to contemplate.

#3 Korea is the textbook illustration of what happens when you leave a job half-done. See also Gulf War, 1991.

#4 I am continuously puzzled by why the world community will rend and tear their robes over a US drone strike but will allow a horror beyond horrors occur in NORK or Darfur, or Rwanda.

The situation in NORK is a classic example of putting playing the party line ahead of doing the right thing.

We should have gone into NORK years ago, when I say We I mean China, Russia, US, WE should have put boots on the ground in Rwanda, and that psychopath Bashear in the Sudan should be in chains in the Nederlands...a long time ago.

How can anyone take the US or any western power, talking "humanitarian efforts", seriously when we have known for years about these obscenities to go on and on.

Of course, Mugabe is another story.

And there you have it. Mugabe was and is a Western creation that no one talks about. Bashear and the rest little different.
