Racently the 'business'(i.e. arch-capitalist) magazine Forbes(USA) published the following: "It’s time for [...]America to leave the Koreans solve their own problems... America’s troops should return home, and the U.S. security guarantee should end. South Korea could then take its place among the world’s nations as truly independent, freed of its embarrassing reliance on Washington for defense, perhaps the most basic attribute of nationhood." The entire piece you can read here! [PS. Of course the last paragraph "UPDATE: ...why the U.S. should fear the ROK (and Japan) developing nuclear weapons..." is a complete f*cking stupid idea!!!]
