To stop an attack and free the people. We should never have let a regime like that exist. Nobody deserves to be treated as the nk people are.
How the people of Korea are governed is for them to work out, not us. Our interests are served by withdrawing not getting drawn in further.

I disagree.
What do the people of North Korea want?
What do they believe about Kim Jong-un?
If Kim Jong-un were overthrown and killed would they rejoice or would they mourn?
idk

My guess is that they would rejoice. Freedom is a good thing. Peoples freedoms are worth more than oil and we don't hesitate to go after oil.

See you don't know any more than I do and that's certainly not enough to invade a sovereign country.

Sure it is. Our number one goal should be stamping out communism. We should always fight for the people. Instead we just turn away and ignore what goes on in the world so we can better our own personal situation.

Duh. The President has said numerous times, "America first!" You know, the guy you're voting for?

Everyone knows not to go around North Korea's border . This is none of our business.

You're probably wrong - very wrong. You have to understand, North Koreans are isolated from the rest of the world, and they're brought up from birth to believe that their leader is practically a living god. Their view of the outside world is extremely skewed. It's almost like a gigantic cult.

While some small percent of them might welcome the freedom, most of them won't see it that way, because the regime is all they've ever known, and they've been raised to see the rest of the world as their enemy. That kind of mentality doesn't just go away overnight.

All of which means that regime change is going to be very problematic. (Radical Moslems in the Phillipines are next door)

South Korea has been an enemy for so long they won't be welcomed. Americans are almost as bad...they are fearful of the Chinese too.

It will take 20 years or more to get them to catch up with the rest of the world.

I know. We never do things for the right reasons. That's my point. There are worthy causes to fight for but the government isn't interested.

The good Samaritan stopped and rendered aid while all the others minded their own business and walked on by. We are to aid those in need.

It would be a difficult journey that's for sure. For the generations to follow it would be a plus though.
