I think if we contain north korea, and wait long enough, it will collapse on itself. No continuation of the war (it technically never ended), will be neccssary.

Then again, thats probably why their lashing out. the DPRK has mastered the art of brinksmanship. They've rattled sabers for years, and they'll continue to do so.

Ive been to the ROK twice. Korea is in an intresting situation. Both Koreas want a united country. The problem is, both want it THEIR way, and, both have something the other needs.

North Korea (DPRK) from my knowledge has alot of land and probably raw resources that South korea needs.

South Korea (ROK) has lot of industry, and has been (to quote some friends of mine) trying to become a "first world nation, in one generation". The south is crammed. They've been building up like gangbusters.

Its an intresting situation. Some claim we (the US) are their to keep the north from invading the south. Others claim the exact oppsoite, that we're they're to keep the south rolling into the north. Korea is a nation that has some 50 years to prepair for a resumption of the conflict which technically never ended. Ive been as far north as the DMZ and as far south as Pusan. Its an intresting country. Dotted with emergency bunkers, concentina wire, and expressways that double as emergency runways for aircraft. Korea has 3 expressways, all of which run north to south.
