"What about North Korea?"

Why can't we just trade with them? Remember that useless war with Vietnam? We're trading with them now. Why did we have to kill thousands of people to gain nothing when in the end we just trade with them?

And now we're looking down the barrel at war in North Korea. A war that we will have to help South Korea fight.

I'm not clairvoyant, but i bet you with one guess what will happen once all the smoke is cleared. Thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of people will be dead and we will return to trading. We'll probably slap a few more bases here and there and piss people off even further while waiting for the next catastrophe.

That's if we're lucky and that sick bastard doesn't start a nuclear war.

I digress, here is a quick and great article on this very issue.
