Gezz these people have no clue

without the US they would be North Korea

"Oppose the war on Iraq! End U.S. hostility toward North Korea! Condemn the Armitage visit!" shouted the protesters.

"Send the protesters to North Korea!" shouted Imal.

The death of the girls is tragic, but the animosity displayed by these protesters reveals a degree of ignorance that is stunning, and begs for a dose of bitter reality.

I'm sure Kim Jong Il is more than happy to give it to them.

[NormsRevenge]

A suggestion... Let's pull our troops out of South Korea, Japan, Bosnia, Haiti, Europe and anywhere else they are playing traffic cop for the world and put them on our borders. The world needs to see that FReedom is not free... and also how much the US does for each and every one of the countryie, whether they want to admit it or not. The proof is in the pudding pull-out.

...adjusts my flame gear.. tightens the bunker hatches..

[bulldogs]

South Korea does not deserve any of our troops. Let them have peace at any cost.

[NormsRevenge]

countryie=countries

[PokeyJoe]

That does it.

Pull out the US troops from S. Korea.

Tell the N.Koreans - "we support your effort to unify the country" and then let the damn S.Korean's starve just like their brethern in the north.

Screw 'em.

[ECM]

I'd love to see the reaction in Korea if we said we were leaving...

[PokeyJoe]

I'm climbing in the fighting hole with NormsRevenge with my all-weather gear.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

After almost 60 years, maybe its time to come home.

[Straight Vermonter]

I can't see any reason for you to be flamed. While I think our troops still have work to do on the Korean peninsula I can see no reason to have US troops anywhere in Europe.

I get so tired of seeing US officials apologizing for defending these countries. We should use Rush's suggestion of a S#!* list for countries. Take them off the dole until they grovel for a while.

[cynicom]

We have been there 52 long years, far too long. Tell them we are pulling out within one year. Listen to them scream, then pull out.

[1rudeboy]

. . . I can see no reason to have US troops anywhere in Europe.

The upcoming war with Iraq is one reason.

[lavaroise]

Sorry, but it's not like we intended to stop the jobs of South Koreans here, so why do they want to stop our jobs? I don't get it. These people are lunatics.

[rintense]

I say, let North Korea have them.

[MCRD]

Has anyone read a news account with the details of this incident? If so I'd love to read it. I would think with all the pressure being brought on our Military and Government by the communist element in S. Korea, that if the GI's driving the truck were in anyway at fault they would have been found guilty of something at their court martial. Screw the S.Koreans and the water buffalo they rode in on.

[rintense]

Yeah, especially now that N. Korea has admitted having nukes. But somehow, having a communist nuke power to the north is far better than having Americans in the south.

[1rudeboy]

That's the point. The folks protesting the most loudly have more in common with the N. Koreans than with us.

[bulldogs]

The trouble is we can't pull out. These countries are so corrupt that if we pull out, they will find a someone to blame.....that would be us.

Hey, got room in that foxhole?

[rintense]

I swear, with all the anti-American crap going on right now, I'm getting more and more of the mind to tell them all to f_ck off. They just don't get the bigger picture. And while we are demonized for being the US, we're also the first country they run to when someone is trying to conquer them. Makes me sick.
