If Korea had military bases in America would you like them to remove their troops?
If they were helping to protect the border, no.
What if they changed where the border was and then protected that border?
Would California be on the other end of said border?

Read the article? If Korea had military bases in America would you like them to remove their troops?
Not if they were keeping communist North United States and its insane dictator from taking over South United States and subjugating us all to poverty and taking away our freedom, while with Korean bases in South United States we prospered and had a great economy, great scientific thinkers, etc, and a free society.

Is the Seoul Times a Korean news source?

I keep hearing Americans give reasons why we should have military bases in Korea. I have submitted an article that is AFAIK from the Korean point of view, and they list reasons why we should NOT be in their country.

Can anybody either tell me I'm an idiot, and this is not a Korean source, or else give me a Korean source that refutes my sources view point?

I'm being serious here. I have absolutely no idea how they feel. I know what I think, but what I think is completely irrelevant, as is what other Americans think.


Edited to add: I really can't tell if this source is based on Korean interests, or if it is about Korean interests from an international POV.

I didn't see any substantial reasons given for wanting the US to pull out.

In any case, I was responding to a specific question, about how I would feel.

Youtube of said interview.

Paul to Musharaf: No more money, pal. We've given you $10 billion and you've flunked the course.

I'm impressed that he mentioned that anarchists were some of the people donating to his campaign.

Re: ***Official Ron Paul video thread***

Thats some pretty good press coverage for RP, though since he's running for the GOP nomination I would prefer the Fox and ABC interviews were switched (ABC so much more positive). Trade sports has him up ~0.4% since I checked around noon yesterday, not a bad bump for one day.

This is a great line. Paul is a pure bad ass.

Awesome, thank you for the tip. That was great.

Regarding Dr. Paul's last comments, this is my wife's signature:

"Ron Paul is not running an internet campaign. The internet is running Ron Paul."

Hardly anybody watches, but Tucker Carlson actually has a good show. Right now he is defending the choice to smoke cigarettes, and how we shouldn't tax smokers into the ground. Tucker makes arguments that almost nobody else on TV will. Hopefully Rosie O'Donnell doesn't replace Tucker when she gets her MSNBC show.
