You tried. You failed.
Thats funny I bet if you asked The millions os South Koreans they wouldnt call it a failure. The struggle wasnt with Korea it was with Russian and Chinese support.
What are you on? The comment was, basically, you should have invaded North Korea long ago. The US, with allies, tried that, and failed. Whether or not South Korea remained free is irrelevant, nor is what support the North Koreans recieved (and, FYI, Russian support was pretty limited, and Chinese support was basically the Red Army once the US reached the border).

China supports Nkorea becuase they are both commie dictatorships.
Nothing about China is Communist: they are both dictatorships, but that has nothing to do with their alliance. Their alliance has more to do with the fact that they opposed the US together, and when the Sino-Soviet split widened the North Koreans sided with China.

China supported the USSR but hated them ..
Uh...............what? When has China
ever supported the USSR? The USSR gave support to China, which was withdrawn because Stalin didn't much like them and suddenly realised they weren't going to sit back and be his lap-dog. The only reason China had accepted the support is because they desperately needed it: Mao had always preferred the idea of US assistance. Further, as soon as the Soviets withdrew support, China began severing relations.

the same is with NKorea and actually the Koreans have had a tenuous relationship with china for centuries.
Uh.......what? Prior to Communist takeover China had very little relations outside China, and did nothing outside China (which is why part of the reason the Communists got so much support: Chiang Kai Shek and the GMD did little to fight the Japanese, which upset the masses). Before the Nationalists, they were practically a colony. Before
that they were unchallenged rulers of Asia, and Korea (along with just about everyone else) paid tribute to them.

My pops went to China recently and he reinforced my opinion with his convos with Chinese that its a very strained relationship for a long time with the only common factor that keeps them amicable is their communist dictator leadership.
Uh-huh.......despite the fact that Kim Jong-Il makes frequent visits to China and has expressed a wish to make changes similar to Deng Xiao-Pengs changes, we should listen to your "pops". That'll totally work. Really, you should contact Bush, and tell him about your dad. Get him hired as a political advisor or something. I mean, such brilliance going to waste. How terrible.
