| Anti-U.S. movement called for |
| 2002-12-27 |
| Yun Ki Jin, chairman of the south headquarters of the National Alliance of Youth and Students for the Country's Reunification (Pomchonghakryon), in an appeal on Dec. 22 reportedly called upon the South Korean youth and students to turn out in an all-out anti-U.S. struggle. Recalling that what the U.S. troops have done in South Korea is nothing but killing, plunder and rape, the appeal noted that the people are turning out in the anti-U.S. struggle to put an end to the disgraceful colonial history. The "disgraceful colonial history" has made SKor a world economic power. Somehow the "plunder" left a lot of money there... If all Koreans are to escape a nuclear disaster it is necessary for the youth and students to exert all efforts to shatter the U.S. moves to unleash a nuclear war against the north and increase their role in encouraging all the people to turn out in the struggle to force the U.S. troops to withdraw from South Korea, said the appeal. Good idea. Pull the U.S. troops out. The SKors have a perfectly good army of their own — a fact we sometimes tend to forget back here in the U.S. of A. Unless South Korea's military has degraded in quality over the past few year, in the event of conventional war with the North, the U.S. troops would be nothing more than a magic feather. The appeal called upon the youth and students to devote their patriotic enthusiasm to the joint struggle of Pomchonghakryon, the all-out anti-U.S. struggle under the uplifted banner of the anti-U.S., anti-war and anti-nuke struggle and thus bring about a bright future of the nation in 2003. Saying "anti-U.S., anti-war and anti-nuke" is twice redundant, isn't it? |

| #6 Don't you realize that the 10 warranty on your neighbor's Kia would be worthless if SKor fell? Not to mention your LG TV or Samsung appliances. What would we do? |

| #4 Its unfortunate that leaving Skorea now would look like appeasement to the Nkoreans. Otherwise I'd be all for it. |

| #3 SKor having to absorb a primitive and (self-)devastated NKor brings to mind Miss Piggy's admonition never to eat anything bigger than your head. Germany's had a pretty large case of indigestion for the past ten years, and East Germany was modernity itself next to NKor. |

| #2 The SKors have a mind boggling reality to deal with: if NK collapses and wants to join SK, it is an economic nightmare if NK invades, it is a military and economic nightmare if US takes out troops, it is an economic setback and encourages an NK invasion if SK politicians stop blaming the US, they will have to deal with their own problems bummer |

| #1 so....why do we care about the SKors? They have the capability to defend themselves. They're getting to sound as ungrateful as the Germans, and of course, the French. Pull the 37,000 GI's out and let these bastards stew in their own kimchi |
