Reference today's IRAQ
But the idiots just don't get it.
Its China, kinda like trying to decide if a person likes 100 dollars or 100 dollars more. Noone knows until it happens.CaptainMike wrote:

Kim will eventually send his warriors across the 38th parallel.
The korean peninsula will be reunited.
What do you guys think if this does happen?
South Korea would put up a fight, then comes the US to help, then lets hope China doesn't feel the same way it did in the 50s and instead puts an end to the North Korean threat. I sure hope they don't go down the path that they chose in the 50s or it will be one hell of a war.

And by long run I mean 1945 with Allied forces running through Europe and germany in complete ruin with thousands of people dead?
Read what I wrote - in the longer run - look at Germany now - it doesn't look screwed to me. Just making the point that questions of this nature all depend on the perspective that you take in answering it.CaptainMike wrote:

That's like saying this person is alive and healthy now but the cancer we removed from their body actually helped them to become healthier.Scorpion0x17 wrote:

No, it's like saying "thanks to the fact that we removed a cancer, this person is alive and healthy" - as I said it depends on perspective - do you look at the illness the cancer caused, or the improved quality of life the person has after that cancer is removed.Kmarion wrote:

There are many alive and healthy people(nations) that have an improved quality of life that never had to host a killer(Hitler). The problem is you do infact need to look at the illness. Something you seem to overlook. Can you imagine if every nation had to go through a Hitler to enjoy this "improved quality of life". No, it is not the way it should be.

And, again, that's not what I'm saying.
It's not a case of ignoring the illness. It's a case of looking forward not back. Yes, remember, yes, learn from, but, do not dwell.

where did you get all this information, and can it be trusted?
we can be certain that what the western media reports about north korea is largely distorted at best.
