SOME INTERESTING THOUGHTS ON THE U.S.-ROK ALLIANCE

What should the alliance look like? The simple answer is "more equal". Roles and responsibilities within the alliance need to be rebalanced. For the United States to be seen as more concerned with the security of South Korea than South Koreans themselves is an unsustainable situation. With double the population of the North and a world-class economy, South Korea is fully capable of carrying more of the burden of its own defense. Doing so would bolster the pride of Koreans and help relieve pressure on a US military increasingly engaged in the "war on terrorism".

Makes sense, but given political and geo-strategic realities, is such a course feasible?
