DAMAGE CONTROL - IS THERE ANYONE AWAKE TO SEE WHAT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN BETWEEN NORTH AND SOUTH KOREA????

Sunday, December 19, 2010

Opinion of the Editor 'James' - Obama in the White House blog

What seems to be what is about to happen between North and South Korea has been boiling up to this point for some time. It always seems that N. Korea feels that it is being provoked. Why would South Korea who controls one of the many islands off of the North Korean mainland called Youngpyeong, hold drills near this island, being that the island is situated just 7 miles away from mainland North Korea? I can't help but try to understand what the United States would do if Cuba was 7 miles away from Florida instead of 90 miles. What would the Americans do if in that case, if Fidel Castro of  Cuba decided to hold military drills that close to the United States. Would the United States allow it?
Yet, the United States is supporting South Korea, but realizes that the boiling pot is about to run over. South Korea is determined to run these drills. North Korea is up front, telling the whole world that if South Korea carries out the drills, even to the South-West of their own island, they would retalliate. I am trying to understand here why the Obama government has allowed this issue to come to this stage. This situation is like the economy when it spiraled downhill. What the heck can anyone do to stop what is about to happen?!!
What is about to happen is uncalled for, and I highly doubt that any talks initiated between the three superpowers of the United States, China and Russia can stop what is about to happen. Thousands, maybe millions of innocent lives may be lost here in the end. The tension in this part of the world in a sense can be cut with a knife, and since the original attack, the super powers have done nothing but to hold exercises to try and show North Korea the might of the forces that would protect South Korea. But is the United States that ignorant to think that countries may not come to the aid of North Korea? I believe that negotiations can usually stall such a confrontation, but in this case, it is way too late. When I think of the consequences, I am so happy that my wife from the Philippines no longer lives in that part of the world. Maybe nowhere in the world is safe these days, but at least I feel confident that no country would try and provoke such an attack on the United States, especially since the event of 911. It is my opinion that the United States has done a poor job in preventing such a confrontation to happen. With this said, without question I support President Obama and this issue is proof that our prior Government run by George W. Bush has failed us in keeping the world a safe place to live. It is actually more safe to live on the moon these days. At the same time, I am not removing blame to President Obama. He can never claim that President Bush started this war. If in the end, nothing happens here between North and South Korea and United States somehow helps to prevent this war, then President Obama should win his second Nobel Peace Prize in two years time.
Now, regardless of the lives lost, the only result of such a war between the North Koreans and the South may be the destruction of two countries, with the one that uses the most force, would win. Christmas this year may prove to be a very disasterous time for the world. In my opinion, this threat is actually more serious than what was uncovered by Bush in Iraq. Bush created his own war. It is a matter of time before President Obama sends thousands of troops to Korea and become another costly effort in an attempt to keep peace on the other side of the world.
