DPRK possibly mobilizing for war...

[Mr Khan]

I don't think he would make the same mistake as Saddam. We supported Iraq in their war with Iran, and we never expressed too much interest in Mideastern affairs otherwise before the Gulf War (aside from Carter's Camp David Accord and Reagan's messing about with Lebanon). Tiny little Kuwait, not really worth fighting over, not with Vietnam comparatively fresh in our collective conscious.

Here our unwavering support for South Korea and desire to oppose North Korea should be clear-cut and obvious.
