North Korea: The Inevitability of War

By Crispin Rovere

This July I outlined the case for war against North Korea, contingent on the failure of diplomacy and Kim Jong-Un’s continued march towards a long-range nuclear ICBM capability.

Six weeks on North Korea has tested an ICBM, fired two missiles over Japan, and detonated a hydrogen bomb.

War between the U. S. and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is not, I pray,
inevitable. Perhaps the greatest danger which could lead to war is America's unknowing of the sentiments of the Korean people. It has long been my view that the American people, and government have a very modest understanding of Korea and the Koreans. We American do not know much about this people. For instance, is the American reader aware that as many as 400,000 attractive young women (mostly Korean) were kidnapped and send throughout Asia to the Japanese army posts where they were raped by Japanese soldiers throughout the war years? Korea was to be destroyed, its people enslaved. The Korean language was to become "dead". Those Koreans who might be suitable to incorporation into the Japanese society, could, under exceptional circumstances, be so admitted. Of course, a name change would be essential. However, for the most part the Koreas were be slaves. It was the policy of Japan to incorporate the Korean peninsula into the Japanese Empire.
