It Makes a Difference to the Sheep

SOUTH KOREA MAY PROVIDE NON-COMBAT TROOPS IN IRAQ. Nothing demonstrates the passing of the "Pacific Century" (even before it began) more than the fact the support of Japan and the ROK for Bush's approach toward Iraq has received almost no attention and certainly did not even remotely reduce the number of claims that the United States is acting unilaterally. Apparently Japan and South Korea matter no more (but no less?) than Estonia or Bulgaria.
