Globalization was going to happen
anyway..
As far as the current administration we have no
idea what their ultimate Intentions are?
Just like Vietnam..we will get in a big
mess.
Especially if it is not in the REAL
interest of the USA
instead of the Special Interests that are
dominating our countries intent.
With the right USA Leadership, IMO if there is
a war with NK they will crumble...
They have some sustainment but the USA
might actually get help from both China
and Russia, this time.
Instead of having to fight a big war against
them they maybe glad to get rid of a sore point..
The troops can fight for a week... but will run
out of food and water.
The current Bush administration does not have
the moxy or sense to do this.
Maybe the next administration.
Kim Il Sung may have a poor nation but he is
far smarter then GWb.
Globalization in that area will create a highly
competitive environment.
During WW2 the Japanese used NK as the
Industrial base.
SK for food and agriculture.
The North Korea was close to raw materials and
the Japanese
built a large manufacturing base around
it.
A war would clear all the old stuff
out.

Bob, in '50 we still had a large army in Europe to hold
back the USSR.

Maury, in 1950 we waged a war on just one front. Bush has troops in
Afghanistan, and Bosnia, and wants to start war with Iraq. If he does
so, we will be strung way too thin, and the North Koreans know this. It
will be difficult, if not impossible, to go on a real war footing now
that we are almost completely dependent on foreign sources for things
necessary to build, and rebuild a war machine. "Globalization" has
really done us in. Those who have sold out this nation are now in charge
of it. Do not mistake "defeatism" for realism. The North Koreans will
eventually occupy all of Korea, just as North Vietnam now occupies all
of Vietnam. As old as I am, I fear that I will live long enough to see
this.

Is this your personal opinion? I feel
sorry for a person that has a defeatist attitude. They are whipped
before the battle starts. In the 50's We were pushed back to the
waters edge and came out of that with honor. There is no honor in
saying we will be beaten before there is a shot fired. We may get
there last but we will have the most. I hate to see a war fought over
that little bit of land but if it comes to it we will pay the price.
The cost and consequences would be just too great if we do not
do our best and win.
