#1 One of two reasons dictate such placidity on the South Koreans; a)they would rather be Red than Dead, or more ominously; b)finally they grasp the true power of Detente and MAD that rides with it. Does that mean the South has Nukes also, or are they signaling that the US will ride shotgun over pushing the button?

#2 The US should cut a deal with the NORKs. They dismantle their nuclear program and allow on-site verification and monitoring. We pull ALL of our troops out of the Korean peninsula. After that, if the SKors have a problem with the NORKs - they can deal with it themselves.

#3 Uhmmm, SK guys - one small point.

We'll be glad to leave your country sooner rather than later, but after that you're pretty much on your own this time - as you may have noticed, we're busy elsewhere.

But we will have time and troops to help the Japanese stop you and your northern cousins cold if you head south.

Be careful what you ask for - you just might get it. And more.

#4 Well, the South would do anything, and I mean ANYTHING, to avoid total regime collapse north of the DMZ...including indulging the Chonger's nuclear fetish.
