How about a campaign to stop North Korean aggression? Or a campain for China to take a little more responsibility? And your "undisputed facts" just contain assumptions and what is basically guess work by members of the "blogosphere."
It's all very well, rallying away in the streets of America where there is not really a direct threat of a North Korean attack. I would imagine that most South Koreans (except communist sympathisers) would find your intent distasteful though. |
So just how much support do you think there is in the South for an attack on the North? Surely you don't think the South will be completely unaffected by such an scenario, do you? |
It seems like many in the South have finally woken up and realised what North Korea is all about. Nobody wants a war, but when an enemy is constantly provoking (as North Korea have been) there comes a point when action becomes an option. Don't forget just how much the South has done to help the North. They've also forgiven some pretty serious acts by the North over the years too. And aren't acts such as attempting to develop nuclear weapons, test firing missiles, parading your military through your capital city and threatening to turn Seoul into a "sea of fire" huge acts of provocation? There are plenty more to add to that list of North Korean aggression too. Nobody wants a war, but how many times can you beat a dog until it eventually snaps and bites you? |

| I would rather see the areas of North Korea that have the artillery pointed at Seoul taken out with nuclear weapons than see Seoul destroyed. I'll bet the South Koreans feel the same way. |

The North Korean frontier is only 50 miles away.
You're saying that South Korea will be fine if they just nuke everywhere that is 50 miles off?
The wind alone would blow the radiation back all over seoul within 20 minutes. |

Really. So, yc, it is not enough that the Nork facilities be taken out, but this must be done with nukes???

| OK OK OK no nukes, but someday soon they will be able to use those high speed conventional warheads that pack the same punch as nukes. Maybe that's why the NK is so desperate to get nuclear bombs. |

Is this the first time you're hearing about North Korea? |

Hello all,
I have a question for any helpful waygooks in Seoul at the moment.
First of all, I lived in Korea for a year and have recently finished my contract. I'm back home in Canada right now and planning to come back to Seoul for a winter camp starting on Jan. 8th.
This whole North Korea situation is starting to make me a bit uneasy, however, I know the Western media blows this topic waaaay out of proportion. That being said, it's still difficult to get a feel for what is really going on there and ultimately if I should still go ahead with my travel plans, C4 visa and this month long winter camp.
Can anybody shed some light for me? Have any embassies suggested that foreigners leave? What's the likelihood of a full blown war breaking out?
Thanks in advance for any responses. |

Not to be flip, but my advice is don't ask the Current Events board--the answers you get will be too informed by political biases. There are probably already threads on this on the General board. |

Bizarrely, I think many teachers would prefer to be in Korea (!) when the war breaks out.
I mean whats the point of spending years in a country only to miss out on the exciting bit? |

That would be the first time in their miserable lives these useless ESLer`s have ever done any real work.  Seriously though, I hope cooler heads prevail and war is averted. Most ESLer`s in Korea are lazy, unskilled Western guys with little chance of supporting themselves or getting a woman in their own countries. ESL in South Korea gives them a shot at both. |
