Skoreans have sent a grand total of 700 non-soldiers to Iraq. I believe we've sent more US civilians to open JC Penney's (and other civilian help and enterprises) in Baghdad than that.

Those 700 also arrived long after the fall of Baghdad.

3000 troops, this late in the game? Well, better late than never.

If you believe President Bush -- and I do -- we need them, which is why he keeps calling for more help from other nations.

Every nation that sends troops means it costs you less in tax money. If you can't get behind this for any other reason, maybe that would do.

To me, the glass is half full, and filling. This is a big step for South Korea and can only benefit their military strength with so threatening a group of neighbors, while helping us and helping Iraq. I'm glad for it.
