06 January 2004: "Sod nukes; old-fashioned high explosive kills too"

Okay, here's something I really need to get off my chest, and I want all you readers—especially those of you with your own blogs—to remember this. There's this meme going around that the US is reluctant to initiate military action against the DPRK because the DPRK supposedly already has a nuke or two. Forget that, it's irrelevant to the equation. What is relevant is the fact that roughly half of North Korea's artillery is within range of, and aimed at, Seoul (and has been for some time now). It doesn't matter whether or not North Korea has a nuke when they can dust half of Seoul with conventional weapons at a few minutes' notice.
