I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.
"produce a single popular daily that from the time"
As I though - those items are all from 5 years after the supposed event - but the main point I was making was that the event was not publicised at the time & that there were *many* similar events over the past 12 years.
Hmmmm
no reponse to the other reoplies.
I guess this topic is too set in concrete for either of us to make concessions.
...if you want stuff from 1994.....here you go. Note: I'm not sure that any of them say expressly "we are on the brink of war". But I don't think you are asking for that....jsut that the reports are credible. I think they are and I think the links provided support this.

All that you posted were articles common knowledge info re why US had such a massive army in south korea.
We all knew Nth Korea was run by a f***wit (Kim Il Sung) who had done bizzare things like blast the USS Pueblo, & bomb airliners, sent killer squads to wipe out Korean pres (got within yards), dig tunnels under DMZ (at least 3), & kidnap Japs etc: etc:
I used to visit Korea during this era & I can tell you it was worse than any security you have *ever* experinced.
Your reports aren't what I call public awareness of a major confrontation with Korea.
You asked in "No proof other than opinion" >>Mike, can you produce a single popular daily that from the time >>that backs up your insistance that we were on the verge of war with NK >>in 1994 ???
I have done this I'm inclined to think. The links back up the assertion. Period. They back it up VERY well.
Now I have to prove: "PUBLIC AWARENESS of a major confrontation with Korea".
Sweet huh?
Let me guess.....next comes proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Then.......... clear and compelling evidence.
