The only problem is that this can easily be part of a plan to escalate tensions. I hope you are right, and this is part of a plan to disengage. Tom

U.S. plans to slash Korea troops cnn.com This headline is barely surfacing above the stuff about Reagan, but this is yet another significant shift of America's role in Korea. Of course, all of the American news agencies missed the fact that this has been in the works for some time. Even months ago, the U.S. military has been pulling out of central Seoul and toward less populated areas. This is significant in symbolic terms because the American buildings in current modern-day Seoul have been occupying prime real estate, and that's been a constant weight on Korean nationalistic pride. Its interesting........a month ago, the number was between 3k and 6k, and now its up to 12k. Personally I think this is a step in the right direction. And this is a time when we can do it without looking weak, not only in the eyes of North Korea, but also in the eyes of our Asian allies, including Japan and Taiwan. Why do you think it doesn't make us look weak? As an aside, I hope that Taiwan and Japan help fill the gap left by our withdrawal. ted
