Mr. Noodle, you left out the rather minor detail that fan death is not a part of officially recorded history.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_War

At the Potsdam Conference (July�August 1945), the Allies unilaterally decided to divide Korea�without consulting the Koreans�in contradiction of the Cairo Conference.[39]:24[47]:24�5[61]:25[62] (November 1943) where Churchill, Chiang Kai-shek, and Franklin D. Roosevelt declared that Korea would be a free nation and an independent country.

In December 1945, Korea was administered by a US�USSR Joint Commission, as agreed at the Moscow Conference (1945). The Koreans were excluded from the talks.

...cherry picking wiki articles to get your agenda across. ...another conspiracy theorist

If Korea wants to reunite, let it.

Two US Colonels were given half an hour to draw a line accross Korea where Soviet and US forces should meet. They had trouble finding a map until they got an old National Geographic and drew a line at the 38th p.

Also when they were discussing the issue Churchill was recorded as saying that he had "never heard of the bloody place".

I think you guys missed the point of this topic. North Koreans are suffering and we need to help, and lets be religious while we help.

Pretty much sums it up, doesn't it? Helping North Korea is the very least we should be doing, and with no religion attached, thank you very much. And yes see to it that the two sides can get back together if that's what they really want. Too late for Pakistan and India, though, a region which Churchill did know a lot about.

America in the early 50s made the same list as Nazi Germany and Cultural Revolution China? Rolling Eyes

Also, wrong forum.


Still 'believe' that America was always/is always the good guy ? 1950's America wasn't so very different in ideology than its enemies, so yeah I include them on the list.

Allies carved up the Post War world. Stalin played the Allies very well and took many countries crying out for democratic freedom. Korea didn't have a say, and North Korea was born. Stalin played with the West in terms of propaganda and war, thus North Koreas' regime and the Korean War.

I disagree, America shouldn't have drawn any lines at all and taken all of Korea. No North Korea and no problems.

I'm all for helping North Korean refugees, but is trying to convert them to Christianity really the best course of action?


I want to say that there are Christian organizations helping North Koreans and they will help them regardless of whether or not they convert.



Yeah, All religions preach the same thing, they still want you to follow their rules though ...

I'm American but have strong sympathies for most of Canada. Ontario just seems to export a lot of unmerited anti-Americanism.

How? Fight Russia over a peninsula that no one had ever heard of? Or pour men at China until they let us have the Yalu?

Yeah, Stalin �played the allies well.� He had tanks, bombs, and an army ready to fight and take.

You are just another blabbering armchair idiot bent on complaining about whatever you can think of. You are the same type of person who would have been crying and complaining that the war should stop if the allies had gone ahead and fought more.

People like you are never happy.
