Why on earth should the U.S. taxpayer continue subsidizng the Korean economy for 50 years.<BR />Not to mention protection under the U.N. flag from the screaming North Koreans 14 miles from Seoul. The next thing you know their economy will have you Brits eating their dust, just like Japan, Germany. Oh dear...to late...its happened already. aw well.<BR />

    Just a note for you Expat,

    Check the situation regarding the current economic health of Japan and Germany (research please!).

    Japan, ageing population, pensions crisis hence recent referendum/election.

    Germany, mass unemployment, I believe the worst levels since the 30s, uncompetitive industrial base due to cheaper labour in the new Eastern European members of the EU is one of the causes.

    UK, well we have a massive problem with overpriced housing but on the whole, in good health.

    Facts again.
    Cheers
    DL
