Just 12 km away from the North Korean border, the US army prepares for an attack. Colonel Patton is in charge of the training: “We train in all types of conditions because we have to be ready to fight tonight.” The North Korean army has more than 1 million men prepared to fight until the bitter end, with thousands of chemical missiles trained on Seoul and 37,000 Americans on border. However many South Koreans believe it is America that poses the greatest threat to peace for the region. Ha Sang Nam is waiting to be re-united with her brother who has been stranded in the North for 50 years. “I just hope there will be no more wars. We are separated because of the existence of the war.” However German doctor Norbert Vollersten backs Bush. “There is a genocide going on in North Korea. There are crimes against humanity and we have to do something.”
