I could see that too. And they should be so lucky. Having us come in and wipe out your army isn't so bad, when you consider how it tends to turn out. We'd borrow the money to execute the war from the Chinese (mo interest money, mo interest money, mo interest money...). And once we'd wiped out the North Koren Army, we'd immediately borrow even more money from the Chinese to (re)build the North Korean infrastructure... ya know, all that stuff that we call pork, waste, communism/socialism, etc. if we do it for our own nation. Then we'd make sure they had enough money to build factories and we'd give them lots of materials and food to get started (so the Chinese would be good with not having to do that any longer). Within five or six years, the Chinese would take over the factories and start producing more plastic, poisonous shit to sell to Americans on credit. So the Chi-Coms should love this. Even the South Koreans would probably love this. Sure, they'd probably lose a couple of Girl Scout/Warrior Princess battalions in the initial battle (nothing says "cute & harmless" like a 5 foot tall girl wearing makeup and holding an M-16). But after that, we'd send every able-bodied American boy over the age of 18 to protect them... and even build a few new factories for them (to better wipe out what's left of American manufacturing). They could even blow up some of the old ones themselves... we're too dumb to know what really happened to them.
American neocons would be good with it, since this would be yet another member of the
Axis of Evil boogeyman club to succumb to the powers of God, democracy and apple pie. The military industrial complex would be good with it, cause they could bilk the Pentagon out of more money. I'd be good with it, since I'm too old to get drafted and I could go back and work for one of the military industrial complex companies (they pay killer bonuses when the money is flowing). And most of all, North Korean Grandpa Park would be good with this. See, he'd no longer have to sleep with one eye open... to make sure the little Park grand kids didn't take a knife & fork to him while he was napping. Yep, a starving child will do what he's got to do. :eek:
Except for stupid ass, middle class American taxpayers, everybody wins in this scenario. And since nobody cares about stupid ass, middle class American taxpayers (in D.C. or anywhere else), screw them. As long as the "job creators" are good with it, that's all that matters.
