1/8 I feel sorry for these guys: http://www.nytimes.com/2003/01/08/international/asia/08SEOU.html \_ Has it ever been different for an occupying army? How would you like it if Bangeladeshi troops were stationed here? \- "bangladesh" \_ If the Canadians had a million men on our border and were making continuous noise about the revolution they're going to bring south and my country couldn't defend itself, I'd be pretty god damned happy if the bangeldeshis were around putting their own lives on the line and spending a shitload of their own money to keep me safe so I could take over the bangeladeshi memory market and send zillions of spam to the bangeladeshi people through the thousands of open relays in our k-12 schools. \- i think this is a spacific manifestation of "if i an doing X for you with concrete benefits but diluted returns" what do i expect in return. e.g. usa and israel. --psb \_ http://www.geocities.com/baxterautry/News/why.html \_ My experiance in Korea was kinda similar to this, although I was a missionary, so I tried to stay out of those sort of conversations. Basically, there's a giant college rumor mill that spreads these silly stories. They're like Urban legends. Kinda like how the "Free Mumia" system works. Some body hears something, doesn't check the facts, and passes it on. -jrleek |

www.nytimes.com/2003/01/08/international/asia/08SEOU.html By JAMES BROOKE (NYT) 1471 words Late Edition - Final , Section A , Page 10 , Column 3 ABSTRACT - American soldiers stationed in South Korea tell of verbal abuse and assaults by hostile South Koreans; rising anti-Americanism stems in part from friction of having 37,000 US troops living in close quarters with people of one of world's most densely populated countries, but resentment verges on hatred, and extends to Canadians, Britons, Australians and New Zealanders; many young South Koreans believe North Korean tale that US troops divided nation, but reality is that Communist North attacked first and almost wiped out South Korea; leaders try to ease situation, well aware that there would be no South Korea without US Please Note: Archive articles do not include photos, charts or graphics.
