Well, at least the Korean War is going better than the Iraq War

I knew that we ended the Korean War with a truce, but I didn't realize that even today, 55 years or so later, we're technically STILL AT WAR WITH NORTH KOREA. This came up today as Bush met with South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun, who asked Bush to declare an end to the war, leading to this surreal quote from Bush:

We look forward to the day when we can end the Korean War.

Bush said that the war will end when North Korea gets rid of their nuclear program.

While seeming an insurmountable obstacle, getting North Korea to capitulate will be far easier than President Bush has realized. Simply threaten to send Alan Alda and Mike Farrell back to Korea and Kim Jong Il will do whatever Bush asks. Even Kim Jong Il isn't crazy enough to ignore that threat.
