I see the note at the bottom that this was "extracted" from a longer paper. I wonder if the long version was the same sort of disjointed rambling.

As to lighting up their missile on the ground - just keep in mind that it would mean the immediate destruction of Seoul and the deaths of a great many of its residents. North Korea has artillery - some of it possibly loaded with chemical or biological weapons - in range of the entire city, and we would not be able to take it out fast enough to save the city.

I think the whole "missile" strategy is an excuse to swarm over the Parallel with their MILLION person army and take the whole of SK if the US invokes "war" with a preemptive strike. Nothing else makes sense to me. I am sure China and even Russia would sit by and chuckle.. I believe that is why the multiparty talks are essential.. They are banking on the US, standing alone, being short on boots on the ground.. But whata I know?? I remember the swarms of human tidal wave that stopped conflict at the Parallel in the first place.

They have about 12,000 pieces of artillery along the DMZ
