Ted, because South Korea's withdrawal will be seen as evidence of weakness on their part. This as the impeachment crisis continues making a mockery of the South Korean democratic success story, at least in the eyes of the North Korean propagandists.

What does it matter? The N.Koreans are starving to death. The S. Korean army probably outweighs them by 10 lbs or more per soldier. If NK does anything, it will be to fire missiles, not stage an invasion.

And do you think the SKoreans haven't thought of this issue before making their announcement? They don't care. Apparently, sending troops to Iraq is a bigger political liability than worrying what the NKoreans will think.
