	KOREAN WAR (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-18)
		Early in the morning of June 25, 1950, the armed forces of Communist North Korea smashed across the 38th parallel of latitude in an invasion of the Republic of Korea (South Korea) that achieved complete surprise.
		Although attacks came all along the border, the major North Korean thrust was in the west of the Korean peninsula, toward Seoul, the capital of South Korea.
		While North Korea continued to hurl furious but ineffective attacks at the Pusan perimeter, General MacArthur readied the counterstroke that was to reverse the course of the war--an amphibious assault in his enemy's rear at the port city of Inchon, southwest of Seoul.

	North Korea
		North Korea remains an isolationist communist state with an annual per capita income of around $1,000 pa. North Korea is ruled by a dictator, Kim Chong-il, who took power when his father and the country's founder, president Kim Il-song, died in 1994, although dead he remains the country's "Eternal President".
		North Korea is so badly run that there is insufficient food for many of the population and starvation has been commonplace during the last ten years.
		However it is unlikely that the leadership in the North can really grasp the economic and social gulf that now exists between the two states, they have grown up in an environment which is so isolated from the realities of the modern world that they probably still see South Korea as a US controlled entity.

	The Korean War - Poster Narratives
		North and South Korea were willing to fight on, but after twelve months of large-scale but indecisive conflict, their Cold War supporters—the People’s Republic of China and the Soviet Union on one side, the United States and its UN allies on the other—had concluded it was not in their respective interests to continue.
		This uneven line led to the first impasse in negotiations, when the North Korean and Chinese side argued that the armistice line should be the 38th Parallel, while the UN negotiators called for a line reflecting current positions, which they argued were more defensible and secure than the old border.
		When the North Koreans and Chinese dropped their demand that the armistice line be the 38th Parallel, the two sides agreed on 27 November that the armistice demarcation line would be the existing line of contact, provided that an armistice agreement was reached in thirty days.

	38th Parallel - Music
		Diversity is a large part of what makes 38th Parallel such a compelling band; not only in musical influences – from hard music to Broadway to traditional jazz – but the fact that the members all spring from different religious backgrounds and came together at different points in their individual relationships with the Lord.
		And as 38th Parallel honed its chops, it was embraced by the patrons of a Des Moines club called "Frank's House of Rock." The reception the band's live show received prompted it to make a serious demo recording.
		For the past several years, 38th Parallel has gone about fulfilling the Great Commission in its uniquely rock and roll fashion, splitting dates opening for Christian artists with shows where it was quite obvious that the bulk of the audience had little interest in hearing anything about God.
