North Korea: What to do?

In the meantime I suggest you look up the rules for using capitals ...

Quote:

Do you hear that South Korea? JTT says suck it up because the USA has bombed Korea, so the DPRK is acting perfectly normal.

How do you think that the USA would act if China had all sorts of war materiel sitting in Canada and floating around the Grand Banks and Vancouver Island?

Consider how the USA reacted when only 2800 were killed.

Quote:

Stop trying to make this incident about the USA. We both know it has nothing to do with it. The USA has a shitty history of installing brutal totalitarians into power, but in this case, North Korea has the former USSR to thank for its madmen.

To suggest that the USA has nothing to do with this is disingenuous in the extreme, Art.

Oh yeah, obviously if China had it's navy parked next to Canada, we'd totally be shelling the hell out of British Columbia.

That's why North Korea shot rockets on South Korea, because the US Navy is in the Yellow Sea!

This has zero to do with the DPRK firing on South Korea.

The history of the 1950s Korean confirms that extensive war crimes were committed against the Korean people. As confirmed by the statement of General Curtis Lemay:

"Over a period of three years or so we killed off - what - twenty percent of the population."

North Korea lost thirty percent of its population as a result of US led bombings in the 1950s. US military sources confirm that 20 percent of North Korea's population was killed off over a three period of intensive bombings:

"After destroying North Korea's 78 cities and thousands of her villages, and killing countless numbers of her civilians, [General] LeMay remarked, "Over a period of three years or so we killed off - what - twenty percent of the population."1 It is now believed that the population north of the imposed 38th Parallel lost nearly a third its population of 8 - 9 million people during the 37-month long "hot" war, 1950 - 1953, perhaps an unprecedented percentage of mortality suffered by one nation due to the belligerance of another."

Has North Korea ever admitted to war crimes?

I don't know,

Why would I need to do that when you're the "writer"?

You trying to justify their actions by making this some legitimate show of defense by North Korea is completely void of the facts.

North and South Korea—on the Brink of War?

BCC News reported, “Pyongyang claims that it returned fire after South Korean marines on the island opened fire first, refusing to cease even when the North protested via telephone (itself, an unusual step).”

North Korea killed civilians.

North Korea: Who Sank the Cheonan? Who Sank the US Atomic Submarine?
The sinking of the US submarine was not reported

The USA butchered 30% of the population of 1950s North Korea. That was a war crime of massive proportions. You want to know how many more that would be over the 2 civilians reported to have been killed in this incident.

"opened fire" doesn't necessarily mean that they were aiming north. That's an annual drill conducted in the same place every time, with the South aiming away from NK waters. The South says they give advance notice as part of their protocol.

While North Korean leader Kim Jong Il is a madman, and while North Korea was the first to kill anyone in today's skirmish, it was actually the South Koreans who fired first.

As AP notes:

The skirmish began when Pyongyang [i.e. North Korea] warned the South to halt military drills in the area, according to South Korean officials. When Seoul [i.e. South Korea] refused and began firing artillery into disputed waters, albeit away from the North Korean shore, the North retaliated by bombarding the small island of Yeonpyeong, which houses South Korean military installations....
And see this.

In addition, the two South Koreans killed were marines, not civilians, stationed in a military town.

Obviously, firing artillery into the water and actually killing people are very different, and I am in no way defending North Korea or its crazy leader. I am simply trying to point out that the headlines can't be taken in a vacuum.

Your inane musings makes me wonder about your sanity.

Are you so sure of your facts, Art.

What country is taking part in these military exercises with South Korea?
