Via Bros. Judd:
South Korea may have serious problems with the tough US stance toward North Korean nuclear and missile antics, but it balks at any reduction of US troops stationed in the country or dilution of the 50-year military relationship with the United States. An announcement last week by a US defense official - that as part of an overhaul of military ties Seoul will be handed back wartime-operations command over its troops by 2009 - has triggered a round of harsh criticism of President Roh Moo-hyun's nationalist policies....

#9  I'm so damn tired of us fighting the battles of governments and people who don't want us there. Forec the Korean government to enforce anti-discrimination laws on Korean businesses or pull out of Korea now. Let them deal with Kimmie on their own.
