#2 Without evidence of "Americans are not welcome here" sentiment in the actual incident, I can't say that I don't understand where the farmers are coming from. Can you say "eminent domain"?

#4 Let's see, move the command from their pretty painted rock compound living the embassy life in Seoul...or drain some paddies around Anjung-ne to build a headquarters, hmmm. Somethings up.

These guys will get jobs washing American cars. Why are they crying.

#5 What's up was the S Koreans wanted the only undeveloped prime downtown real estate left in Seoul. Yongsan's 1 square mile is probably worth billions $. Think Central Park, only more expensive.

If the SK gov is so inclined, there is plenty Won left over to make the land owners rich, but many old people who grew up on that land want to live out the rest of their lives there.

#7 I stopped reading when the name Amnesty International was cited. Only the MSM uses them as a credible source.

#8 I note the pointed implication that the "Clashes" were with American Troops, without actualy saying anything about the people the farmers were really clashing with.

Bet our Troopies were not involved at all, sounds like the SKOR Police were the bashers and the farmers the bashees.

#9 Back in 1988 the Korean government approached the US Army in Yongson about moving the Headquarters elsewhere, out of the downtown of the capital. I could see where you'd like a foreign army not to be entrenched in your capital. We were sort of put of the last time the British did that in our capital. The US Command said certainly, but you have to provide suitable quarters elsewhere. So, here we are 18 years later. It not like this has been a rush deal.
