That was my point yesterday when i took flak from al, ted, and RW. I guess folks can have an argument on whether the US should be here or there. However this stupidity "We're in South Korea in the first place because the military needed something to do sixty years ago..." just reiterates my view that some of these guys are childlike in their views. We see that from Z and Ted all the time.

For me, NATO and Korea, both. Should have been done years ago. The Europeans, if they were smart, would kick us out of NATO. They need Russia for energy; we'll mess things up for them. We don't need to be in Korea to lob nukes at the North. That's why we built missiles. We can spend the money there, or we can spend it here. No more Daze of Guns and Butter; those are for rich countries, like the USA in Y2K.

It's time we moved on. You seem to advocate "cutting and running" from a lot of fronts. Iraq, Israel, Korea, what's next? NATO? We certainly need to cut back our committment to NATO.
