    You are ever so lucky to live in the land of the free. By the way, have you ever been to Cuba? I guess not, your government won't let you.

    Not completely, but they are actually working toward that goal.

    For instance, you will see one Korean team at the Olympics this summer under the banner of a united Korea.

    Despite the US being against it, a unified Korea is for the best. It would solve most of the problems currently posed by North Korea, including the nuclear one.

    Of course, then the US will have no need for troops in Japan or South Korea...

    It is because of us that South Korea is free, and God willing one of these days we'll bring freedom to ALL of Korea.
    And let me tell you something, the older Koreans remember and thank us for it. I spent six years of my time in the Air Force stationed in Korea, and while most people my age there were more curious than anything to talk to an American (most really wanted to practice their English!), I was extremely touched one day on the subway in Seoul.

    As I was standing there, an older man sitting next to me asked me if I was an Amerian serviceman. When I answered yes. he shook my hand and said "Thank you. Young people don't remember, but I do. Thank you for helping us. Thank you for coming here."

    One of the guys I worked with had a similar experience, the older Korean gentleman said to him "Your country was willing to send its young men to come here and die to protect us." I think the ROK is a shining example of American military power used for the right reasons.

    The difference between the Korean war and our current debacle? The South was attacked and overrun by the North. We came in to defend, not to do a pre-emptive attack on an entire country.
