Excerpt
Excerpt: INTRODUCTION; In Book One of Clausewitz?s ?On War,? he writes, ?In war the result is never final ? The defeated state often considers the outcome merely as a transitory evil, for which a remedy may be found in political conditions at some later date (1).? The state of relations between the United States and North Korea, also known as the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea (D.P.R.K), embodies this truism today. An armistice agreement in 1953 provided for a cease-fire between North Korea and the United States, but the peace treaty to end the war has yet to be negotiated, leaving a large armed camp on either side of the 38th parallel warily eyeing each other for the past 49 years.
