US-ROK: Tough Times Ahead?
Is the U.S.-ROK relationship in for some tough times? The answer is "yes," but not because of the recent forced resignation of "pro-American" Foreign Affairs and Trade Minister Yoon Young-Kwan (whose wise council and steady, mature leadership will nonetheless be sorely missed).
It is encouraging to see President Roh insist that his subordinates follow his policy directions . . . but only if this is enforced evenly. If, instead (as I personally fear), the President has merely decided to exploit the situation by replaying the anti-U.S. card to shore up his fragile political base, especially at a time when public opinion polls show a steady decline in South Koreans' faith in either Washington or the alliance, then there will be serious trouble ahead.

No extra special tough times ahead, just more of the same old thing.
I say bomb Kim Jong Il into oblivion, take over the north, and then reunify. |
