''At the time of the elections, some U.S. officials, who held considerable responsibility in the administration, talked about the possibility of attacking North Korea,'' Roh told a panel of university professors on KBS-TV. ''Fortunately, opinion in the United States started to change to resolving the matter peacefully,'' he said. I believe they mean that public opinion started to change, and not that those in the administration came to the conclusion that attacking North Korea would be a bad idea. http://famulus.msnbc.com/FamulusIntl/ap01-18-070625.asp?reg=PACRIM
Personally, there are so many more perils going into North Korea than Iraq, I hope that wasn't a serious attempt to get the South Koreans to sign off on an invasion. Besides, we would need to get the Chinese to sign off on it as well, and that is NOT going to happen.
Is the third paragraph your own opinion or did you get that from the link? In the future, you should differentiate quotes in the article from your own assertions with italicized or bolded words. You're not the only one guilty of this in this forum.
GIve me a break, Ian. The third paragraph is my own assertion. That is why I used the first person, and also why the other two paragraphs are in quotations. If that was not clear, you could have confirmed that by clicking on the link I provided.
A new story refutes the report that the US talked about a North Korea attack: http://rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/fc/wo...u=/ap/20030119/ap_on_re_as/koreas_nuclear_108
