Korea: What if we just left?

[Occhidiangela]

P.S: Does anyone know how to talk accurately about Korea without qualifying every sentence? If so, please enlighten me.

I feel a similar confusion. Castro and Kim are two of the last holdout Cold Warriors, though Kim is the son of The Original Kim, a man of, as I understand it, a bit more substance and a bit less bombast, and a True Believer in his cause. Don't know enough. Unlike Tito, another Cult Of Personality Sort of fellow, he was able to pass it all down to Sonny.

I was in, some years ago, a serious war game that covered that Peninsula and its two nations. An assumption was: no nukes, yes gas, yes bio. Everything else, to include role players for some 40 national governments, were included. *head swims* Complex. When the "Fight's on" light illuminated, lots of things happened real fast, and they did not stop happening for about four days. And I saw only part of the action.

To sum up: It was all ugly.

That experience led me to think, after readings of some stuff from a few years back, very hard about assumptions. That in turn, and a few other things lately, led me to ask the question, because I think that we have been living with a lot of assumptions for a long time, and maybe some of them have past their expiry date.
