Ok......
These days, what does South Korea have to offer the U.S. besides being a buffer between China and Japan?

endo says he is an idealist, he says;

"And being all of 27 seven years old I guess I'm a bit of an idealist too. I sure hope that I don't loose this with age ."

That says it all. Bu thet way Boy I got 41 years on you.

Iraq was an artificiial construct in the first place. It was set up after WWI to accomodate promises made to the Hashemite family who had helped defeat the Turks, Thw Kurds in the north have always wanted their own country, the Shia in the south and the Sunni in the middle have never gotten along.

It is not the destruction of Iraq but the liberation of the Kurds and Shia that will happen.

You ask me how I as a Jew feel about the destruction of Israel? Well, God gave the land of Canaan to Abraham a few thousan years ago and that is now Israel. The land is theirs. Since the Palestinians and the Arabs still refuse to recognize Israel's creation, even afte losing six wars, I have scant sumpathy for them.

The Israelis would, before being "destryed" turn the middle east into a glass parking lot. I would hope that there is a peaceful solution but I am not optimistic. Iran would make several nice countries too. The Baluchis in the east have been revolting, the Kurds would like to join ther fellow Kurds, the Azeri in the north are restive.

You have just given me a great idea.

North Korea has always been China's b*tch. China controls the oil pipelines into N.Korea, and have used this fact to manipulate the government of N.Korea over the years.

I think that if the North Korean government suffers a catastrophic collapse, China will most certainly send in troops to restore and maintain order. I did not put that in quotation marks because I think it will be a sincere goal. However, taking control of North Korea, and installing a puppet government, will be a bonus that they won't pass up.
This is why the South Korean government is so desperate to prevent such a collapse, and bends over forwards at the North's every whim. Only a "soft landing" will allow the South's business leaders access to the North's resources (which are probably cheap labour more than minerals).

You should put that in quotations because you're correct...
There are 100,000 CPLA regulars assigned to the regions near the border with North Korea and with Chinese completing its "Northeat Project", they are trying to lay legitimate claim just in case of NK's collapse..

.....and you know what...I am all for it......

Good, if China was to take over the northern half of the country, that would mean the people would be more nicer and more open to foreigners than if the southern half took control of it...... And they would be less xenophobic than their southern brothren too.....

If you think this is a good thing then you are a certifiable moron.

How could this be good? If you look at the wall of china then tradionality China has been no where close to Korea.

Also, if not for China then Korea would be one country anyway.

Plus, would the USA really like thier sacrifice over the years to be subsumed by China? and is it justifiable?

If you bow down to China then you are an idiot plain and simple and I don't care what country you come from.
