<P>Dear Jonathan</P>
<P>US Marines in Korea are home. They are there because they volunteered to be there and the Democratic elected Government of South Korea has expressed it's desire to have the US Marines as well as US Army, and US Navy, US State Department as well as representatives of no small number or American citizens on various visia's to remain in Korea. This is essentially the same kind of agreement we have that allows S Koreans to immigrate to this country to visit, work, study and if any so choose to, can apply for and receive permanent residence and even citizenship. </P>
<P>If you are really sincere in your desire to see the US out of S Korea; you need to go to S Korea and get with the people there and help them elect someone like they have in North Korea. Then I am sure the new government will joing with N Korea and I am sure the US Goverment will make changes to existing agreements as dictated by any change your new government would like to have with us. Until this happens the US will continue to live up to the promises we made in 1950.</P>
<P>Actually I feel very sorry for the North Korean people. Just reading about and looking at photographs and at the Satellite images of North Korea I would think you would be more inclined toward helping you neighbor out of the hell that has been created by a very sick and evil ruler. I have read a considerable amount of history of Korea, and have come to the conclusion that your hero Kim Il Sung is a throwback to the 7th Century. </P>
<P>By the way, how is it that a Japanese made this film? I wonder, wouldn't it be nice if he made a film about all the Japanese children the N. Korea government kidnapped and still refuses allow them to return home. Talk about going home???
