I seriously doubt if anyone in Washington at the time gave a rat's ass about the people there.(December 7, 2015 at 6:13 pm)Minimalist Wrote: No one gave enough of a shit about NK on either side to pay the price to continue fighting.
Yeah, but should we have? I mean look at what happened. Also was the Korean war worth fighting? I'm having a hard time saying that it wasn't right now.
The problem with places like North Korea, Cuba, Iraq, Syria, and Saudi Arabia is that when some local rebel takes over he runs the country like he personally owns it as a family business. All of the other local yokels stand around and kiss the dear leader's butt instead of blowing his head off and taking over.
Anyway, as a consequence of the Korean War South Koreans are now free to enter the US without visas and a lot of them come here to have babies so that they can have dual citizenship in case the crap starts to hit the fan there.
