When you throw in our large economic ties with South Korea (anyone own a Samsung cell phone?) and the fact that there are usually 50,000 American civilians in South Korea--most of them in Seoul--the picture is clear that we cannot leave South Korea. It would be tantamount to shirking our nation's duty to protect our citizens lives and livelihoods.

H'mmm. Funny no one talked about "shirking our nations duty to protect our citizens lives and livelihoods." when the industries were allowed to be set up over there with our tech. Maybe we better get those jobs and manufacturing plants we undoubtedly paid for BACK here pronto....

How do you propose to bring Korean owned and operated companies with Korean employees "back" to the US? You can't undo what has already happened. We gave them starter technology and they ran with it and prospered. You can't put the genie back in the bottle. This is the current situation and we must keep our troops and presence in South Korea to protect our interests.
