Line 11: − :You are responding to a parody entry which I have deleted, and I guess your entry is also a parody. So I'm not going to respond. Here is a a ''bona fide'' Conservative viewpoint.+ − − :The US had the atomic bomb and China did not, during the Korean War (1950-53). MacArthur could have stopped the Chinese from intervening on the side of North Korea, had the president allowed it. This, of course, would have been painful for the Chinese conscript army (falsely dubbed volunteers) and their families. Which is why it's often said that "War is hell." − − :Although some think use of atomic weapons would have made the US a pariah, the US defeated Japan with two atomic bombs - this prevented a much greater loss of life than a conventional invasion would have entailed. America rebuilt Japan after the war, and the two countries have enjoyed prosperous trade relations and a surprisingly friendly cultural relationship. Sushi, anime, Sony walkman, etc. And the US became the destination of choice for refugees. − − :The failure to eliminate communism in North Korea permitted Kim Il-Sung to consolidate power and create one of history's harshest totalitarian dictatorships. Not to mention [[famine]]s stemming from 'land reforms' and the prohibition against private production and trade. Their persecution of Christianity is also something America could have prevented by liberating them from Communism. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] 15:31, 3 April 2007 (EDT)
