Hmaly, <Sorry, in fact I posted Tench several wks ago, that he US ought to consider taking out all unnecessary troops.>

I remember that, and I agreed with you. Unfortunately, the nuke problem complicates things tremendously. How can the U.S. pull out of South Korea if the North is willing to sell nukes to terrorists? Especially in the midst of the warmest North-South relations in decades, the North's nuke fantasies does not help the Korean peninsula one bit.

I only wish Bush could make his goals for Korea clearer than just "defeat terrorism."

And this anti americanism is more accute now than it was in Russia during the cold war, in Japan during WWII; in Germany , Afghanistan. In fact, it seems strange that our best friends now are the ones we defeated; not the ones we have saved. Looks like we are going to have to bomb a few countries in order to get any new friends,. <g>

Let me see.....the ones we defeated; two that come to mind....Germany and Japan. The current chancellor ran on an anti Bush/American last fall......I'm sure you've heard about it. And there have been at least two anti American demonstrations in Japan but the gov't is still pro American.

Oh wait, I forgot about Italy.....we defeated them and there have been no demonstrations.......yet. So you are partly right.

I think you're missing the point. The current leader like other recently elected leaders in other countries was elected because of his anti American stance.

You sure? Maybe the reason could be that NK has gone through a recession for the past ten yrs, with a lot of scandals involving the Chaebol and leaders in gov.


Wrong country....we're talking about SK, not NK. And from what I read, the S Koreans voted in the current guy because he was more liberal and not so fond of Bush. But then, it was a liberal media outlet that was providing the analysis..........and you know how they lie.

Plus, we know Bush is so charismatic and popular its hard to believe there is anyone who dislikes him.
