Seoul is within artillery range of North Korea. It would destroy that city and the global economy to "do something over there".

- yongjik 13y agoI guess it could be very tempting when none of your parents, siblings, friends and other loved ones live anywhere nearby, and all those folks you propose killing don't look like you, don't speak your language, and don't even observe the same holidays. Seriously, WTF.
- angle943 13y agoNot only that, but many South Koreans still have relatives living in the North. So bombing the North is akin to bombing your own family

- downer91 13y agoI am uncertain that it would "destroy the global economy." That sounds like hyperbole. Convince me. It would be any unhappy event, assuredly, but if "the global economy" wasn't destroyed by the Iraq debacle, I'm pretty sure that a similar conflict in Korea would carry comparable consequences. All the same, I do not advocate any sort of war. Not out of squeamishness, but mostly because even the victors are handed empty promises by war. War isn't as productive as people would like to romanticize.
