I don't think nationalism exists in a homogenous(sp?) country, and why whould that play a factor in a war against North Korea?

Also, Why would china join in if there was a war against North Korea? The cold war is over; even though there may be tensions between China and the US, it's not what it once was 50 years ago. Also, China's Foreign policy is "mind your own business, and we'll mind ours". China already has enough to worry about how it's going to have to control it's economy, keep it's ethnicities in line, and it's war on drugs. I hardly doubt that it's going to sacrifice thousands of people for a backwards "ally". Although in case of war, it wouldn't like US forces near it's borders.

And Atrocities, NK is rattling it's sabre in order to LIVE, not get love and attention from CNN. The NK demands Food and Oil shipments for it to abandon it's nuclear program entirely. If NK wanted attention, it would have bombed Tokyo by now.

Mac, there is no armistice, not on the SK side. President Syngman Rhee (I think that's the correct english spelling) never signed it. Both sides can still attack at will.
