o, let's be real, the US is at war with N.Korea and has been since 1952;0) Actually, the UN is still at war with N. Korea. After all, it was a UN operation, blue world flag and all... But the point I was making is that it has been N. Korea's regimes which have spouted the predominant portion of militant rhetoric and aggressive bluster.. It has constantly threatened to invade the south AGAIN (they did it the first time too, if you'll recall) if Seoul didn't concede to their demands for "reunification" on Pyongyang's terms... ... Perfectly understandable, just as the N.Vietnamese makes no mention of China's contribution to their War of Independence and subsequent quagmire (reference "The Pentagon Papers"), as all is simply history, and all are moving on. And look at how much "understanding" Vietnam has received from China ever since.. Trying to write off, from Korean history books, the 1 million Chinese who died saving Kim Il Sung from his own arrogance hardly creates any sense of comraderie between the two peoples.. Wishful thinking from across the Pacific, as Russia and China are simply too astute for that old trick that other world powers fall for. Hmmm... Well it seems that this is exactly what Bush's posturing has created. Rather than sheltering N. Korea from international criticism, both of these nations have now developed contingency planning with the expectation of a regime change in N. Korea. Hawk Hawk
