I was in Eastern China when the news about the South Korean ship getting sunk came out and there were talks of a Korea/Korea war. I was ready to go volunteer as a civilian in South Korea to help a war effort if it came to that - I think the vast majority of the United States' wars in recent history have been poorly chosen, poorly executed, and morally questionable.
But the United States Government not taking out Communist China and Kim Sung-il's North Korea during the Korean War has to be one of the largest war mistakes in history. So much misery could have been avoided if they'd done it the way Chiang Kai-shek wanted and pushed through Korea into China. The Communists got a huge boost from seizing the Imperial Japanese weapons after WWII, but they were still far underequipped compared to the U.N. forces in South Korea. Then the Soviets got nuclear weapons and the stand-still happened, and lots of people suffered for it.
North Korea has to be one of the most vicious places in the world. I'd sign up pretty quickly if an international coalition went to tear down its government.
