Don't get so defensive. Chill out. Go get a cold mekju and some pajon snacks, and enjoy the jpg here of the massive PRO-US demonstration in Seoul a few weeks ago (more being scheduled for this month).

OK, deal. I guess I'm just remembering that this legislation was put off once because of some anti-American outbursts over there? (I'm getting kinda sick of those -- we've done a lot for people and they should be grateful.) But it's definitely good news that this legislation got pushed through and that the legislature was in pro-US hands. Times like this, I guess we expect and want our allies to behave like, well, allies. Something from South Korea is better than nothing, and things are trending the right direction.

As a 1/2 Korean and 100% American, I can only say that the western media bias in favor of the protestors is outrageous! I watch Korean evening news (in Korean) and the majority of the people of South Korea are supportive of the US. My father served 26 years in the military (GO ARMY!) and he has repeatedly conveyed to me that ROK were probably one of the best trained soldiers he has ever worked along side. Funny, my uncle (also married to a Korean) mentioned a similar PX story in 'Nam but he said their "interrogation" of POWs more than made up for it. Not exactly sure what he meant by that...
