There are 2 prevailing factors going on in Korean Peninsula, (1) new generation of South Korea (which is the power base of current South Korean President) has desire for reunification similar to Germany , (2) Bejing’s active role as the leading player in the six party talks to de-nuclearize North Korea. Both Bejing and South Korea President (not to give up gains in inter-Korean relations) downplayed the North Korea missile test threat and willing to take the risk. There is a clear path toward de-nuclearize North Korea. In fact, USFK is drawing down its american forces in Korean peninsula and planning to cede control of its war command authority to the deputy Korean commander. In the same way, US ceded leadership of the six party talks to China.

If US is as bad as if not worse than the WW2 Japanese and Hitler Germany (giving you the benefit of doubt), why Middle East and all Arab countries, Europe, Russia and China did not join forces to fight the great villain United States? – dOdOng

The rest of the world (including a good portion of the American public) has expressed its opposition to the invasion of Iraq in a peaceful manner. Unlike the American aggressors, the rest of the world values the ways of peace.

Whose security? You know better than that. In fact, when US Congress recently announced that it would tie the aid to extrajudicial killings problems, Phil gov’t is crying out loud for split of milk. – dOdOng

You think our officials are crying because of national security? You know better than that.

Maybe you should ask Kuwait gov’t. whose land was invaded by Iraq. – dOdOng

With or without the American invasion, the Iraqis were no longer in a position to re-invade Kuwait after they were driven out. What additional benefit will a million dead Iraqis give them?

Or the Saudi gov’t. whose Sunni relatives in Iraq are direct victims of war. The Saudis warned the US it will fight the Shiites if US will leave Iraq too soon in power sharing vaccum. – dOdOng

To be more specific, the Sunnis are the direct victims of the American invasion. On the possibility of a regional or civil war in the event the US left Iraq, the United States was already warned beforehand that their presence would destabilize the region. The Americans did not listen.

You think US will not attack nuclear Pakistan if Musharraf pick Taliban instead of US?

You should read Musharraf’s memoirs.

Maybe you should ask Kuwait gov’t. whose land was invaded by Iraq. Or the Saudi gov’t. whose Sunni relatives in Iraq are direct victims of war. The Saudis warned the US it will fight the Shiites if US will leave Iraq too soon in power sharing vaccum.

Whose security? You know better than that. In fact, when US Congress recently announced that it would tie the aid to extrajudicial killings problems, Phil gov’t is crying out loud for split of milk.

Maybe, you did not understand the neo-cons. In light of next year election, we will see the first woman US President and US Middle East policy will not change significantly. Your neo-cons concept is evidently out of place.

Sorry. If your statement is true, Jordan and Saudi Arabia would be the first to say that to the United States. That is why I am saying, please check your facts.
