On the other hand, N. Korea has something to say ont this matter(from Yonhap News):

Meanwhile, North Korea urged South Korea not to dispatch combat troops to Iraq, saying that doing so would be "a mean pro-U.S. subservient act." "Submission to foreign forces in disregard of the dignity and the interests of the nation would lead the nation to disgraceful ruin and death," said the North's main newspaper, Rodong Sinmun.

"The South Korean authorities should ponder over the grave consequences to be entailed by their traitorous troop dispatch to Iraq and resolutely reject the U.S. demand for it," the paper said in a report carried by the country's Korean Central News Agency.

Charming fellows, N. Koreans are.

Some day, and that day may never come, I'll call upon you to do a service for me....

My dad and my uncle were both in VietNam with the ROK troops... only areas were the VC AND NVA would NOT go. They were very afraid of the Koreans.

I would love to see that sort of thing happen in Iraq.

I made my last jump with South Korean SF; quite a tough bunch they are. True allies to boot, they lost over 5,000 troops in Nam. I expect this means they will kick in approximately 2,300 more to add to the current 675.... Self sustaining is a plus as they will not be under direct US oversight, but rather operating with aid and confidence.
