> I don't really know what it means to intervene in things

Most of the time where I thought maybe intervention was a decent idea, it wasn't. The way I think of it now is you can't throw sticks of dynamite in a flower bed and expect roses. All the things war is damages civil society.

Well maybe we shouldn't have intervened. I sort of say "we" in a loose way since family. I dunno.

Maybe it would have been better if they'd just worked it out themselves. That said, do you know any Koreans?

It's kinda interesting but the US intervention in Korea wasn't in isolation. Before that was the Japanese conquest. And even before that the Chinese were messing with them.
