Me thinks, even more so than SKorea, Japan is on "super" high alert right now.

South Korea is our ally? When? I know we're their ally, but I didn't think that relationship went both ways.

(I'm not sure if I actually need a sarc tag here, which is sad)

If you think that South Korea is our ally,I have a tunnel under the Hudson to sell you.

I will apoligize in advance for any Koreans I might offend by posting a map identifying said island at Takeshima.

I've flew near the island, back in the day, while playing with an IL-38 May. The Russians knew we weren't allowed to cross the ADIZ dividing line between Japan and Korea so they would run down the line and try to sneak in on the battlegroup.

Like minds, with Lil' Kim having a bottle rocket fit the timing is terrible.

Jeez, this Hatfields and McCoys crap has gotta stop over there. Especially when ol' Skillet Face is shooting off his own 4th of July fireworks into their communal swimming pool. Keep your eye on the ball.

Certainly more of an ally than N Korea.

Re #17

Yes, S. Korea and Japan resume their tit-for-tat on Dokdo issue. This is the direct result of S. Korea trying to weaken alliance with U.S., which made Japan perceive that it can freely move against S. Korea, without worrying much about U.S.'s concern.

I think that polls in South Korea that indicate that 80% of their citizens see Mr Bush as being more dangerous than Dim Jong Il suggest that you might be wrong.
