I think it's fairly safe to say I don't have a very high regard for the Bush Administration, but I think that's even too cynical a view even for them. Huge numbers of South Koreans would be in grave danger in the event of any kind of hostilities - and you'd have to be pretty cold-blooded to risk the destruction of the capital of an ally for such a purpose.

Remember, too, that part of pulling our forces further South will take some political pressure off South Korea. One of the bases that will be closed is the one in downtown Seoul that attracts so much attention.
