We already spend $.58 of every tax dollar on defense, why not add more...

In reality South Korea, Japan and China should be more concerned... we cannot fight a war on three fronts...

South Korea has a well armed military than should be able to take care of itself.. we have given them billions of dollars.. never mind the amount of money that the bases generate in local spending..

here is a breakdown of their military assetts.. let them fight their own battles. We have subsidized them enough over the past 60 years, time to man up and fight your own battles..

Poor persecuted racists, can't a fair shake in the US these days. Almost as bad as being a white, male Christian...

That link fails to mention that South Korea was firing test shells right near the border. The north is by no means an innocent party ... but it takes 2 to tango. Was there a need to fire test shells near the disputed border area?

we are brainwashed into believing the north is evil and the south are the good guys. Well it does seem the north's leaders are a bit crazy and cruel to their people but if they are not provoked I think they have a lot of bark and little bite.

I am always skeptical of any of these stories, re: how bad North Korea is and how good the south is.. we will never get the real story from the sanitized press that wants us to believe what they want us to believe.

No matter this is not our fight, let them figure it out.. we are as a country burnt out from war and completely desensitized to violence.

North Korea could roll their tanks up over the border into South Korea and start executing civilians while sending a nuke into Seoul and this country would do absolutely nothing to help out their allies. This country's as$holes pucker up every time North Korea bows up. We're so afraid of them that it's not even funny.

Your right the right wing media is covering up all the stories of desperate South Koreans fleeing the capitalist hellhole of the South for the workers paradise in the north.

I really don't see the US acting aggressively unless the South Koreans want. For us to provoke an attack on South Korea by an insane regime would be absolutely awful. If the South Koreans feel that a war is the only choice, I think we would have no choice but to back them.

They weren't firing in the direction of NK. I believe that based on NK's past behavior.

It hints at CIA involvement. Remember the provocations with Iranian sailors in the ocean?

It seems that no matter who is in office, there will be some sort of conflict (Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan with Bush, and China-Japan and the Koreas for Obama) that will coincidentally be a windfall for the military complex.
