Don, > But if we pulled our troops out what would happen? Why not we and the Chinese have treaties with both the South and North to guarantee? the security of both countries as long as they choose to remain separate. The presence of American troops on South Korean soil IS the guarantee of security. 30,000 troops is hardly enough for an invasion of North Korea, but it's enough to deter the North from invading the South. What guarantee of security can America provide if the troops are pulled out? At least the North knows that China will automatically rush to its defense if America invaded. Treaties, of course, are made to be broken, just like the agreement Carter brokered back in 1994, so what good is that to South Korea? Tenchusatsu
