"As for his: "Screw the S. Koreans!!""

Well, until North Korea is no longer a threat to US security interests and partners, our fate is tied to that of South Korea. If Kim Jong-il gets his hands on the South Korean economy, his weapons programs will advance by leaps and bounds. That puts highly advanced weapons -including nuclear - in the hands of Iran, Hamas, and Al Qaeda in no time. It also advances the completion of the Tae-po Dong III, which could carry nuclear warheads to Washington, DC. Running away from North Korea will put us at their mercy.

"If Kim Jong-il gets his hands on the South Korean economy, his weapons programs will advance by leaps and bounds." If and in my opinion WHEN it happens, their wont be nothing left of a South Korean economy.
