Disagree, the US troops and mines have been there for a long time. South Korea is doing well exactly because the world cared and the US in particular continues to.
Iran by itself hasn't attacked another another country for more 2 centuries (http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/opinion/2012/01/20121248513...). Meanwhile, not only all our countries did it in the very last decade, but we surrounded Iran with military bases.
So we are not doing it because Iran is a threat. Occidental countries are technically more threatening (http://www.globalresearch.ca/we-re-going-to-take-out-7-count...), we just don't see it because we don't threaten each other. We are doing it for other reasons.
They got oil and a strategic position in the middlewest, There is probably a lot more to know to understand the motivation to make it the number one enemy.
Bottom line, we are not good doers, and attacking NK doesn't bring anything to our table, so we won't do it.
Uh, we invaded Iraq and absolutely destroyed the country and decimated the population - because we were going to be "greeted as liberators".
Certainly the people of North Korea need liberators, even if it takes them a few generations to appreciate it.
South Koreans don't need to be saved, North Koreans do.
However the entire world should be doing the liberation, not just the USA. In fact for once maybe they can leave us out of it and just tell China "end this" or we'll destroy your economy by not buying anything from you for as long as we can.
But hell, look at Syria and the refugee crisis. Imagine if Assad had nuclear weapons.
Such horrible lives.
China should be ashamed for perpetuating this.
Was hoping to see within my lifetime a re-unification like Germany but that's basically never going to happen.
Unless they find oil in Korea, unlike Iran we are never going to give a damn, politically, morally or otherwise.
