    Oh you mean the original partition after WW2. That was because the Russians had their Northern sphere and the Americans the South and neither wanted to piss the other off. Similar to Eastern and Western Europe.

    The UN couldn't beat the communists and the commies couldn't beat the UN. So they decided to share the Korean peninsula.

    Why did they do this? The country had been a single country for 100's of years.

    The UN (i.e US) couldn't beat the communists and the commie Koreans (backed by China) couldn't beat the UN. So they decided to share the Korean peninsula.

    The local village where I live is being threatened by the intended construction of a new gravel pit, which will border on an area protected by the Wildlife Trust and the National Trust.

    I haven't, as of yet, seen any Israeli or Palestinian protestors helping out with the local campaign.

    I suppose, in all fairness, they'd probably say "we have our own problems to deal with. Who are we to stick our noses in your business ? Your problems are of no interest to us".

    Quite.

    The feeling is mutual.
