| U.S. considering withdrawal from SKor |
| 2003-03-06 |
| Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said on Thursday the stationing of U.S. troops near the border with North Korea has become intrusive to South Korea, and said forces could be moved southward or out of South Korea altogether. Rumsfeld said Army Gen. Leon LaPorte, commander of U.S. forces in South Korea, and others are considering ways to realign American forces on the Korea Peninsula. This comes as the United States is engaged in an increasingly tense crisis over North Korea's nuclear ambitions. You |

| #4 What to do? Rumsfeld just focused the So Korean debate - if they truly choose not to defend themselves, why should we? They need to remember why they have a chance to debate. I can understand that it's not pleasant depending on a foreign country for your defense, but kicking us while proclaiming the postive (?) aspects of Kim Jong Il's paradise won't stand. It's time for serious people in SK to decide and LEAD. 37000 Americans should not be the tripwire if it's not welcome or necessary |

| #3 If it wasn't for the fact that good people in SKor, people who have nothing to do with this conflict, would get slaughtered - this would be so easy, we could just leave and let them get their just desserts. The SKor lemmings are no different than the lemmings in our own country - they do not represent anything but a small group of self-hating fools. As much as we'd love to teach them about life's realities, Americans care about more about the good people of Korea - North and South. Oh...what to do? |

| #2 I like it - Rumsfeld just put NK and SK on notice - the grownups might leave the room, but saying: "DON'T MAKE ME COME BACK UP HERE!" |

| #1 Fred, you should permanently link that "Americans not welcome" photo to this section. Puts everything into context very nicely. |
