So that's where we are. And the US did terrible things. It shameful and it should never do those type of things again. But the conflict should have been finished rather than being left to fester for decades. The society could have been rebuild and almost certainly would have prospered. So now we have a problem. I don't think Kim can be left alone, he simply is too dangerous. Talks and negotiations and sanctions haven't worked. I doubt they are likely to in the future. I believe he will simply continue to acquire destructive technology affecting the balance of power in the region and possibly the world and at one point may well use it as he continually threatens to do. I am pretty anti war. Extremely anti-colonialism. But in the case of NK I think the situation needs solving and soon. I believe they should be disarmed, by force if necessary and I'd support this even though I support almost no other US military adventures. It's a shame we let it get to this point but we did somehow. I say this as an American with American and allies interest in mind. I suppose there are other perspectives.

>I'd support this even though I support almost no other US military adventures. Two problems - China and Russia, both allies of North Korea, and both nuclear powers. Neither particularly likes North Korea, but they like American military power in Asia much less.

  Ya well, like I say, it is a mess. But Kim can't be left to continue. Regardless of how Russia and China feel about the situation. And I'm pretty sure neither will embrace the final solution and cause their own demise in defense of Kim. Sooner is better than later in this case. The ideal time was 60 years ago.
