South Korea doesn't like us. This isn't the first incident which shows there's not any love lost between the 2 countries.

Just a few months ago, I believe the leaders of both N. Korea and S. Korea got together. It was a big "reunion", lots of flowers that kind of thing.
I wonder what they thought in Washington.
S. Korea's leader Roh bluntly told Bush that they would like for the US to remove its troops (I think we have 50,000 US troops there).

1. Not so fast with "South Korea doesn't like us"

IIRC just one of the provisions of the trade agreement is that S Korea will not be allowed to test Genetically Modified food that we sell to them.

It's not a good agreement. They're protesting, you're scoffing w/o any knowledge of what the agreement is and pulling this us/them bigotry.

Furthermore, while South Koreans in general are enamored of the US and the economic opportunities that business with the US offers them, there's good reason for South Korea to resent US troops in their country when our soldiers are seen as unnecessary, uncontrollable and foreign.
