TWIMC,
     Indiscriminate land mine use, let me think...
PLO, Kymer rouge (?), African National Congress, IRA, and most any
communist backed Peoples Liberation Army is going to stop using this
weapon or sign a treaty to not to that effect?
     While the ROK army is very good and really mean, the north 
has a VERY large army and it is NOT starving to death dispite
what the press is reporting.   If the minefields are removed
from Taiwan and S. Korea those countries will cease to exist in 
very short order.

Just an opinion.

Bye for now,
