To some extent I agree with your view that America doesn't always act out of the goodness of her heart. Then again, what great power does? SK's primary use to America is as a bargaining chip to be exchanged with the PRC for a quid pro quo. Nothing more. With respect to the latest kabuki dance with the DPRK check out Westhawk's latest post at his blog. Btw, has the ROKN figured out how to fix the cavitation problem with the first of the Son Won-Il class of subs? Check out Manoeuvre in Maritime Asia.

Yes North Korea is the Devil. A nation of Devils, I agree. The best thing to do is a cleansing.. I agree.

I call BS on that. Show where anybody claims that. Most people here analyize from the realpolitik perspective.

You wish people would say that, but nobody does, so you make a strawman.

Korea takes and the USA gives. Just look at all the dirty filthy unwashed masses of Koreans that wash up on the shore of USA, like yourself. Take take take. The good news is that America is so big and so great that even with all the hatred that some Kyopos have for America, America is still so good that nobody needs to care.

This just goes to show you United States doesn't care about countries like South Korea just out of pure virtue of goodness, as many here claims. If the US has the opportunity to gain something, they'll have no qualms of dumping anybody as an "ally", invade anybody, and/or make/cut deals with the devil.

I laugh at you people's high moral level (which you really should come down off of), as in this debacle.
