How to End the Korea Crisis (not with schoolyard insults)

Ron Paul says "Pull all US troops out of the Korean peninsula; end all military exercises on the North Korean border; encourage direct talks between the North and South . . ."

And later he reports the strange situation: "While US Ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, was bragging that the new UN sanctions against North Korea would result in a near-complete blockade of the country (an act of war), the South Korean government did something last week that shocked the world: it announced an eight million dollar humanitarian aid package for pregnant mothers and infant children in North Korea."

  A South Korean magazine editor comments on South Korea’s complicated, and contradictory, relationship with the North:

“In South Korea, it’s deeply personal, and it’s deeply complex. You don’t encounter North Korea just as a foreign country. It's supposed to be your brother, your family, that one day you’re supposed to reunite with,” she said. “This kind of familial attachment coexists simultaneously with this aversion to North Korea because it’s a military threat.”

Yes, I agree, a very complicated relationship. NK getting sanctions AND aid? Chinese banks not doing business with NK? Fear with familial attachment? I'm not sure if Ron Paul's solution would prevent NK from marching into South Korea, but I'm not sure the north would try to either.

[Note about Ron Paul: Before he retired, Ron Paul was an OBGYN. According to Alex Jones, in the 1980s Dr. Paul used to volunteer every night for a week each month at a charity hospital in Houston delivering babies. For this he was paid $2.00 per night for coffee or juice. This says a lot about where Ron Paul is coming from and how he would like the world to be.]
