Leaving Korea would be a

I am not even sure about that. Without the Soviets and the Chinese to
back them up, North Korea is not that strong. I really don't think
they are crazy enough to attack the south. The real question, is why
is it OUR problem. Where is the rest of the world?
If we really want to knock Kim off we would do better to ring his
country with G3 towers and bomb the country with I-pads.
Sound expensive? Have you priced regular bombs these days? $500 a pop
won't get you the dumbest WWII technology M-57 HE 250.
Anything is cheaper than war.



It's cheap insurance.


Maintaining the Korean DMZ may be insurance but it sure isn't cheap.
It costs up to a million dollars a year (Iraq price) to deploy a US
soldier in a war zone. That is one of the reasons why Haliburton/KBR
and Blackwater are bargains.



Halliburton and Blackwater cost us more than they are worth. There's a
lot more than dollar "cost" when it comes to foreign policy blunders.
There's also a huge, uncontrolled "thug" element in connection with
using these damned contractors.
