I agree, the plan to move our forces from Seoul to the
South was a good start. Also, about a third of our troops are coming home. My daughter (in the Army) came back from a year in Korea last summer. She said that the older people love the USA and remember what we did for them in the War. She said that the young people (many of them) have a blind spot for N. Korea and want reunification.

Your daughter sounds like she understands the situation in Korea very well. I was in Korean in the mid 80s and liked the Korean people. I am disappointed that they turned so anti-American, but that does seem to be the global trend.

Reunification may not be a bad thing for the Koreas, but the North is still ruled by a crazy despot.

My understanding is that the South Koreans don't want reunification too fast because they have come to enjoy their prosperity and fear the reunification with their starving cousins will have a negative impact on their quality of life. Sound spoiled, don't they?
