RE: A history list
Are
you denying that the United States has been sending food and oil to North Korea
since 94? My comment about MacArthur was in response to the comment that we
didn't have MacArthur this time. I do not like MacArthur.

What a joke that is, or maybe it's
just a case of being misinformed. Liberals for Mac had about the same standing
as Jews for Hitler. MacArthur was a darling of the Conservatives. If you can't
accept that check out any bio of Mac. They supported his election for
president, as a foil against FDR, but the real people didn't have the drive to
support his nomination, so that was a non-starter. His ties to the
Conservative Hearst Papers and the Chicago Trib were very well known. Those
papers supported every move that he made. And he alluded to them when
intimidating FDR in the summer of 1944, when the invasion of the Philippines
was in doubt. And he attempted to do the same thing against Truman, but the
latter wouldn't put up with it and fired him.
If the North
Korean army is strong it is because Clinton fed them and kept them
warm for the last 6 years or so. The Chinese army at least grows
their own food rather than take it from the mouths of babies.
Horse hockey. The N. Koreans are
very generous when it comes to building weapons, but very parsimonious when it
comes to feeding their people. I think it would help to read a non-biased
perspective on such issues instead of ideological rags.
