This will be worth another few million people going to see this movie. These idiots never learn.

Clearly neither China nor South Korea/US want more instability.

But... it is the enslaved people of North Korea who deserve freedom.

The welfare of the North Korean people should come first......

How has this sub-human regime been allowed to remain in existence?

First Truman was not up to the confrontation with China over Korea then Chinese support has allowed the regime to survive up to...

Well... this is the tragedy of it.

The US and the Western powers have probably spent billions of monitoring North Korea and they have diddly to show for it. They haven't got a clue.

Daniel...

No I haven't and not about to now... maybe over the weekend.

It would be interesting to hear from you a little more on this previous statement of yours:



You can - and probably will - play...

That's fine too.

.

That of course is merely in your opinion.



You can argue persuasively that the Chinese "emphatically don't want to" force any change to the status quo in North Korea? I would be interested to...

Fuchs has done a better job explaining how he believes "influence" should be approached and could work than you have - continuing your stock position in near every instance - of suggesting doing...

There has to be a war?

I'm all ears waiting for an explanation of the risks relating to doing effectively nothing.

Its a good question too.

You seem to want to speak on behalf of the US yet are at odds with recent US precedent. So why not from now on just speak for yourself?

It happens all the time. Iraq and Afghanistan are just two recent examples.

PS: Spend a little time reading the WikiLeaks nuclear related cables and see what the world was facing in this regard.

Exactly the reason why this lunatic should never have been allowed to develop nuclear weapons. This applies to Iran as well.

From the Mail & Guardian:

Try to give it a little thought and see what you come up with.

You know this or are you speculating?

I need some help here. 200 artillery shells kill 5 (2 soldiers and 3 civvies) and wound 18 when fired into a civilian residential area.

Exaggerated number of shells fired, crap ammo, wild...

First off the risk from NK is much higher because of their nuclear capability. So there is the first mistake from the weakness of the past.

Given the survival of the NK regime under the current...

I'm sure the Chinese have given NK clear parameters within to work when it comes to such "incidents".

Suddenly this incident (with a handful of dead) becomes the biggest incident since the...

The North has less to lose. The South has everything to lose. The US stands to lose thousands of troops and no matter what China won't allow the US to use nukes.

This is probably another cry for...

Only that the stakes are now higher.

NK told SK to stop the live firing exercise in the disputed border area. SK ignored them. NK fired 200 rounds to make a point. SK fired off 60 in some direction? and then ran to grab hold of Uncle...

Take it easy guys... I remember words like deterent, containment and the like... nothing to worry about... and remember a short time ago a ship got sunk taking 46 lives with it... did nothing to...

OK so that's what you think THEY believe... what do YOU believe?

Jimmy Carter was interviewed on the Charlie Rose show of 28 September 2010 and had some interesting comment on the North Korean situation.
