I understand that older Koreans tend to be pretty conservative, decent people, and I was aware that Koreans had served honorably in Vietnam. But the fact remains that more than half of the Korean voters voted for Sunshine (corrupt coddling of Kim Jong-il) instead of realism. The younger generation needs to grow up. Maybe pulling our troops out would help them to understand. Right now, they probably think we
want to be in South Korea as part of some imperialist plot or something. They think there's something in it for us and they're sure we'll help them if they ever get in trouble--so why shouldn't they take such an irresponsible attitude?
If the South is invaded, American troops should fight alongside South Korean allies. But if they're going to keep playing Sunshine, we should withdraw our forces. We can always send them back (even if that means in the event of an invasion the South will suffer more than if we had left the troops there).

(Stalinists, Maoists, Ba'athists, Pacifists: Why are they always on the same side?)
What you suggest is dangerous to say the least. "Attacks are based on perceptions of Weakness" Said by the President last night!!!! Thats the kind of thinking that leads to 09/11/01's and 12/07/41's. No thanks!!!!
