This Day in American History
On this day in 1950, Chinese troops cross the 38th Parallel, into South Korea, driving us (and our UN allies) completely from North Korea, undoing all the devastating effect on North Korean troops our brilliant and gutsy end run at Inchon south and west of Seoul had caused just three months earlier. The Korean War would see-saw a bit more in 1951 and then develop into trench warfare along generally the original border. Few people remember that the war never ended. I wonder if China would supply troops if North Korea attacked south again and we again kicked their butts. Hope we don't have to find out.

I hope you're right. Your houseguests said they did not consider themselves or their country our enemy but your chief sinologist in the house said we should consider China an enemy, which I do.
