Senior military and security experts were joined by thousands of conservative activist groups on Friday in a rally against Korea's efforts to take over sole wartime operational control of its forces. Participants said President Roh Moo-hyun and his administration were destroying the Korea-U.S. alliance with efforts to take wartime control out of U.S. hands and called for Roh's resignation if they persist. Some slogans called for the president to be impeached.

Is a Korean military coup in the making? Korea has only had a civilian government for less than 20 years, I think 1988. I don't know when the next Presidential election is, but I think it is pretty soon, less than 2 years. Could be a watershed election, three possible results; opposition party election with weakening of labor/students/pro-North alliance, re-election of Uri party and US withdrawal or re-election of Uri party and military takeover in response.

I think it's very possible for South Korea to go the way of South Vietnam. This was mentioned at about the time we adandoned the Vietnamese people, by the "experts" of the day. South Korea has always been unstable; not enough missionary work there to create a Christian environment, although some success has been achieved.
It seems to have a high level of LIBERALISM, rioting students, et al.
Our modern day leaders seem to always be in retreat when they should be pushing aggressively ahead.
