And 30,000 troops died in Korea during 2 1/2 years while Truman was president. That's 10 times as many as have died in Iraq under Bush. 34,000 Americans gave their lives for Korean freedom.

So do you think Iraqis will ultimately be more or less viciously anti-American than the South Koreans are today? Or will they be staunch allies like the French, whose freedom was also purchased with American blood?

I didn't get the sense that the majority of the South Koreans were anti-American in the year I was there.

it's the same now as it was in the 80's when I was a kid...it's the students...fueled by infiltrators from the north that state the protests.

Once they get older they seem to grow out of their anti-American phase.

And the ones that were around during that time still have a deep respect for the U.S.

Which particular Iraqi are you talking about? Which particular South Korean are you talking about? I only know of one South Korean family and they aren't anti-American.
