The US Congress Strikes Back in the "Battle of Inchon"
By James J. Na

For the past week, unnoticed by much of the American media, South Koreans have been battling in the port city of Inchon over an important American icon in East Asia -- General Douglas MacArthur.

Inchon is the site of MacArthur's greatest military masterpiece -- a daring amphibious landing in 1950 that decisively turned the tide of the Korean War and almost won it, until Chinese communist forces intervened in massive numbers.

Despite tremendous natural obstacles, including tides over 30 feet, and the near unanimous objections from his subordinates, MacArthur pressed for "Operation Chromite," a landing deep behind North Korean lines. The audacious attack succeeded spectacularly. North Korean forces, caught by complete surprise, disintegrated, and Seoul was re-captured in ten days.

Withdraw all US forces (and the statue) as well as all economic, military and any other foriegn aid to South Korea. Let's see how the "activists" like living in the utopian, North Korean variety, communist state.

Get a friggin grip.

I am not real happy with the attitude
of a large segment of the SK population.

However, most are on our side, almost
all favor Democratic government, and
allowing them to fall under the dominion
of NK is absolutely as preposterous a
notion as I have ever heard.

You want Kim Jong-il to get his hands
on 100 nuclear WMDs? How about 1000?

The quickest way to do that would be
to give him the immense human and
industrial wealth of SK.

And aside from the practical considerations,
no mere insults could ever warrant the
punishment of life under the present NK government.
