RE: Next Korean War?

	 "defeat South Korea -- one on one (which I doubt they can) -- it 
	would only be a couple of years before the World Trade
Organization(s) would 
	be beating a path to the unified Korean door to take advantage of
its cheap 
labor."

Cheap labor maybe but not very productive as the general population is
suffering so much from malnutrition that I think we are going to see serious
long term mental as well as physical defects that will turn the nK
population to little better than potential slave labor.
