    "THAAD is here to protect South Korea, why do you oppose it?" CBS's   
    Diaz asked.   
      
    "The only reason America deployed THAAD here is to dominate Asia,"   
    another [South Korean] man said. "America's presence here only   
    raises the threat of war."   
      
   Please know that the Koreans, from the south or the north, aren't   
   little copies of Red Riding Hood. They aren't stupid. There is   
   nothing about their country or its history that you know and they   
   don't know themselves. For more of my rebuttal to jdeluise's ad

   Well, what do you know?   
      
   Jdeluise is as grumpy as McCain when Trump gives the neocons and the   
   Deep State guardians the finger!   
      
   You've got to wonder why?   
      
   To me and many truthers, 9/11 was only an excuse to launch the PNAC   
   sub-projects; certainly no official report has much verifiability.   
      
   It's pretty clear to me first of all that McCain is up to no good by   
   badmouthing the head of state of America in front of a bunch of   
   Germans at this weird "Munich Security Conference core group".   
      
   Mike Flynn can't talk with the Russian ambassador but McCain can speak   
   ill of the president before a bunch of foreigners? How strange!   
      
   So, McCain is exactly the no-good type that my subject line expressed   
   - and as a good citizen, it is my duty to use my free speech rights to   
   say that and I'm for peace and for making America great again.   
      
   Furthermore, by spreading an inappropriate, non-parallel comparison   
   between the firing of Comey with the firing of Archibald Cox, he is   
   guilty of smearing. The foreigners most likely didn't know that   
   Archibld Cox wasn't an FBI director. To a majority of Americans in   
   Nixon's day, firing Cox was bad but to the majority of today's   
   Americans, firing Comey is good - good for Trump followers and good   
   for Hillary's supporters, at least.   
      
   To me, and to many truthers, the FBI report does not convince.   
      
   All it did was to whip up a war fervor, giving George W Bush a blank   
   check to kill Muslims, and bring disaster to others (see below).   
      
   The official conclusion (re 9/11) is illogical and against physics,   
   about which I'll let the structural engineers and the physicists   
   explain with their detailed explanation accompanied with photos,   
   simulations, and calculations. Why should the official line on 9/11   
   be any more trustworthy than the official line about Iraq's   
   non-existent WMD was?   
      
   The PNAC embraced by George W Bush and many of his key officials as   
   well as by Bush's brother is about regime change in the Middle East   
   and containment of Russia and China.   
      
   They don't give a damn about people's lives.   
      
   They claimed Iraq had a bad guy in charge, they went in and purged all   
   the Baathists and made not only the lives of the Sunni Iraqis   
   miserable, but also the rest of the people of the former Iraq under   
   Saddam. This includes Christians as well, such as the ancienct   
   community of ASsyrian Christians. How dare Bush claim to be a   
   Christian? And I refer to the "former Iraq" because Kurdish leader   
   Barzani has told the Italians recently that Iraq no longer exists.   
   So, we destroyed Iraq.   
      
   And we went on to destroy Libya and Syria, and now Yemen.   
      
   Of course, we are stuck in the Afghan quagmire - a place known as   
   empires' graveyard, as you well know.   
      
   Yet, McCain as well as former UN ambassador Bolton who sold the Iraq   
   war, and former CIA director James Woolsey who told us that we must   
   endure decades of War on Terror, as well as the current UN ambassador   
   Nikki Haley are all stepping on one another's toes to inflict pain on   
   our Korean brothers and sisters.   
      
   Somehow, you don't see their pain, even as they have just spoken loud   
   and clear that they don't want our THAAD systems and they want to have   
   a reproachment with their northern siblings.   
      
   It was a stroke of genius, IMHO, that Trump lobbed an metaphorically   
   incendiary device threatening "major, major conflict" with North Korea   
   that would make the neocons like McCain happy while at once   
   galvanizing the South Korea citizens to vote in "by a landslide" a   
   candidate who has promised them to make peace with the North. Of   
   course, the Deep State is very powerful and Trump might cave and   
   launch a war with NK. But that is another part of the history yet to   
   be unfold.   
      
   But at least, if Trump wants to, he can tell the American people that   
   the South Koreans don't want war with their northern siblings, so what   
   business do we have to immiserate their lives? Even if we don't care   
   about Korean lives, are we ready to absorb the collapse of the South   
   Korean economy, which probably ranks the top ten currently? And all   
   the Korean refugees? Tons of them will end up here, regardless of   
   official policy.   
      
   And Trump can see that if he doesn't show these neocons who is the   
   boss, they will eventually destroy him.   
      
   And I guarantee you that if they will make Trump fulfil his "major,   
   major conflict" promise, it will be a "major, major" disaster for him   
   personally. I fervently hope that he is smarter and more courageous   
   than the McCain type expects him to be and hence avoid that future.   
      
   You can keep throwing some irrelevant insults at me, any time you   
   want. I can absorb all that, 'cause these days, the neocons are in an   
   existential crisis, and they are pretty grumpy, especially when they   
   saw Russia's Kislyak having morphed into a Henry Kissinger in the Oval   
   Office.

   The nation opted -- by a significant margin -- for a liberal   
   presidential candidate who could completely alter the long-time   
   strategy on dealing with belligerent neighbor Kim Jong Un to the   
   north.   
      
   Official poll results were to be announced later Tuesday, but as exit   
   polling showed a landslide for Moon Jae-in, his two rivals conceded.   
      
   CBS News correspondent Adriana Diaz reports there were stark
