The military says the “seditious” books would hinder the concentration of soldiers, and harm the military’s “mental power.” The officers say the move is censorship and unconstitutional. <a href="http://www.lastevent.info" rel="nofollow">http://www.lastevent.info</a> A group of South Korean military officers is pressing a court to overturn the military’s ban, announced earlier this year, on books which it considers dangerously pro-North Korean, anti-US, or anti-capitalist.

Korea does have a lot of born-agains, but I don't know if Dispensatonalism is important. Instead of anti-Israel books (probably all copying each other), read Hal Lindsey, et al. The Armaggedonites are the power behind AIPAC and US pro-Israel policies. Lester Ness Kunming China Japan doesn’t have a large number of born-again Christians eager for the End of Days.

As for why the troops overseas, it pays some people, mostly people involved with the Military-Industrial complex. It pleases a lot of bossy ordinary folks to think that we still occupy the loser countries of WW II. It's weird, but a lot of US foreign policy amounts to re-fighting WW II (or more usually a movie about WW II). It's a perverse way of playing King of the Hill. For Japanese leaders, it means they don't have to spend money on defense (although they do anyway).

I don't see the need for them. What catastrophe befell America after it left the Philippines? The answer of course is none at all. Likewise no disaster would likely follow from leaving S.K. The USA should never have bothered the Philippines, going all the way back to 1898. Both countries would have been better off. But the question is why did America need or want those bases?

McCain denied his love for Hagee once and it was over. Who is the bigger nut case Hagee or Wright? I can not stand either, but it's obvious that our joke of a media thinks it's off limits to dog out the let's start the rapture nuts. My invisible friend is stronger than your invisible friend. If you don't believe me I'll bomb the snot out of you. What a lovely system. Peace! They have made quite the stink over Obama’s pastor. McCain denied his love for Hagee once and it was over.
