That's be a good trick, considering that the People's Liberation Army had been actively engaged in combat with the U.S. and U.N. forces for two years before Eisenhower became President. There really is nothing to worry about unless Korea does go balistic. The U.S. itself has very little to worry about if the DPRK does Pull a Cagney (Top O' the World, Ma!). The ROK and Japan would certainly get mussed up, and the Chinese and Russians have the Great Bad Luck of being downwind. (Into every life some fallout must rain) My bet is that if the DPRK goes ape, Japan and the Republic of Korea will be licking their wounds for a few decades - and the DPRK will end up being inhabited by rats & roaches. The only extra is whether they plow salt into the fields, much as happened to Carthage. -- Pete Stickney A strong conviction that something must be done is the parent of many bad measures. -- Daniel Webster |

I suspect Loney was thinking of Nguyen Sinh Cung aka Nguyen That Thanh aka Ho Chi Minh. Of course, he also has the wrong president (Uncle Ho is widely reported as having appealed to the Truman administration for aid after declaring the Democratic Republic of Vietnam in 1945. Little did he know he'd already been sold down the river at the Potsdam talks.). -Marc -- Marc Reeve actual email address after removal of 4s & spaces is c4m4r4a4m4a4n a4t c4r4u4z4i4o d4o4t c4o4m |
