I don't feel you read this Voice of America story relating that the S Korean military chief was nowhere to be found
when their ship was torpedoed, and alleges he was involved in a drunken all-nighter:
VOA | Audit Critical of S. Korean Military's Reaction to Warship Sinking | News | English

I checked the history of the Korean War and the Chinese didn't just jump right in. They warned the UN forces several
times not to push the offensive to the Yalu River. So what did MacArthur do but just that, and had he not Korea
had a good chance to remain one country as N Korean forces had been routed thanks to our landing at Inchon.

Just saying the South would be hardpressed to go it alone. We should be talking reunification really because all the
military involved ain't cheap either.

Reunification is the way to go, there's no question about it. The problem is that Kim Jong-il and company aren't really going to accept true reunification ever, because it will require them to cede all power, and would probably be followed up with prosecution for crimes against humanity. Then we'd just have to deal with the economic fall out, rather than paying for a military campaign as well. I just sort of think that a peaceable negotiation with the fanatical regime is a pipe dream.
