I stand corrected. Yes, only 3% for the US.

However, in the future, coal burning and nuclear power will continue to be targeted by environmental groups. Only probable increase will be in oil burning.

People, in general, do not know about oil. They usually think alternative energy sources are available. No. Solar, alcohol and wind powers are all pipedreams.

There are only oil, natural gas, coal and nuclear. However, oil is not only energy source; it is plastics, fertilizers and pharmaceuticals.

Oil is the most important resource at this time.

50% of US consumption of oil/oil-basd products is wrapped up in standard motor gas with jet fuel, diesel fuel (trucking and shipping mostly), residential heating, and LPG collectively making up the other 50%. http://www.eia.doe.gov/neic/in.....mption.htm

No casualty figures given; these could be in the text somewhere, or in an appendix or the text of one of the other volumes.

It is damn shame that Americans, who are supposed to be the best informed in the world, do not know about Korean men fighting in Nam. Strictly for the US!

…And a shame too that South Koreans, who are supposed to be the best educated in the world, do not know or care about Filipino men fighting in Korea. Strictly for South Korea!

You still think the US should pull out of Iraq and leave the MiddleEast to Russia, China and EU? They will chock the US in five years with oil embargos, with Chavez joining in.

Expect $10 per gallon in the US if the US pulls out.

If it wasn’t for worthless pile of Chinese crap like you we wouldn’t be having this conversation today, so please kindly butt out.

Origami, you are an ass and I did not you are king of this thread. Kind of rich, anyhow, coming from someone who has Zhang Ziyi as an avatar (Although I commend your taste in women.)

I am an American of Irish ancestry and my wife is a mainland Chinese. If you have ever seen any of my previous posts you would realize that I, in no way shape or form, condone the communist government here. And if you had read my post I don’t do it there either. I stand by what I said. Mao was an ass and a criminal for getting involved, but my point was that people died–lots of people, people on both sides that were not Korean.

Yes, I know. I heard that Pres. Clinton OK the loan to Korea with Japanese government vouching for the amount. Or, something to that effect. Maybe the Japanese are not out-and-out evil people. Only when they tried to take Dokto.^^

Yes, I do believe there is pro/anti-American cycle. And, Koreans change fast. They align themselves with winning team. No backbone at all.

This is why we all have to be patient just one more year. Next administration will be very pro-American. Actually, I worry about it being too much so that it may sell itself too cheap.

Just as I predicted from a couple of years ago, the tide is turning. Most SK people are getting tired of “sunshiners” who helped North Korea to build nuclear bombs.

I like to thank some posters for remembering the names of two Korean divisions, the WhiteHorse and the Tiger even after forty plus years. Yes, they are paid but they were not simple mercenaries.

When Pres. Park sent them over, he told the soldiers
1) We must thank America which has saved us from the tyranny of Communism
2) We have to pay back the American lives lost in Korean peninsula
3) We need the money to rebuild our country
4) It will be a good opportunity to gain some real combat experience

Korea really trust America, then. However, ever since Nixon sold out Taiwan to help out Coca Cola company, no Asian country can trust America as the reliable friend.

Still, soldiers from two countries trust each other as they have fought side-by-side in Nam, as some have verified in this post.

Yes, Korea will turn around. And, we will fight together in Iran next year, to rid of Islam terrorists from the face of the earth.
