Yes, that's part of the problem. There was no end to it, officially, and no
celebration,no victory. So Americans had rather forget it was ever waged.
:(
But it was (and still is) a very real conflict, as we have been reminded by
the N. Koreans time and again. I fear they will be tougher than the Iraqis
or the Taliban to conquer. You will note that I didn't include Al Queda in
that list, as I don't think we will ever be able to declare a clear victory
over them as they are too widely scattered and too underground a force to
deal with in traditional military fashion.
I think it's very ironic that Bush is seeking aid from the very body he
scorned a year ago. He's realising all too well that America can no longer
afford to act on its own and we cannot operate in a vacuum.
NOTE: for those of you wondering about my sudden verbosity, I'm home sick w/
a cold today. Ugh...
