What to do about North Korea...?

Have you totally lost it? Your troops are still there not because they
are needed to maintain peace and freedom, but because forward bases
close to (what used to be) the enemy can't be had any cheaper than in
previously occupied country. Man, you really need a reality check...

Thomas, we are giving them back, slowly, aren't we?
We realize the Europeans no longer need our help and assistance in
returning to prosperity
We've are moving on now. We have made new friends in the Middle East
recently. We are now helping them regain their prosperity. They have
generously granted us access to rebuild their airfields, and
infrastructure. Once they have achieved an appropriate level of success,
we will find new friends who want our help.

(Very tongue in cheek!) ;-))

John,

I like your style ;-)

In short: The Russians are gone, the Arabs are here. And Japan and Korea
turn out to have just extended their useful life.

I am half second generation American from German and Hungarian
immigrants.
I have aunts, uncles and cousins in Germany.
I lived with my great aunt and worked as a praktikant for a year in
Germany. (Firme Albert Siebdruck Fabrik, Frankenthal, Rhineland Pfalz)
I worked and played with Germans and other immigrants when I lived there.
I spoke German the entire time I lived there.
I had some very interesting political discussions with my relatives and
my co-workers and teammates when I lived there. It was an education I
would not have received in this country.
I remember asking one of my co-workers what he thought about the
American military still being in Germany. His response was, "Better than
the Russians."
