伊拉克战争后,朝鲜半岛的和平越来越引人关注。美国军方有分析家已经在探讨,虽然朝鲜的统一还是个未知数,但韩朝两国有可能在2015年达成政治上的解决办法,如果这样,将改变东北亚地区的安全结构,并将会要求美国从东北亚撤军。作者从长远的国家利益出发,认为现在有必要为保持美国长期的军事存在奠定基础,值得引起我们的警惕和注意。 After the Iraq war, the peace in the Korean Peninsula is drawing more and more attention. Some analysts in the U.S. military have already discussed that although North Korea’s reunification is still unknown, the ROK and the ROK may reach a political solution by 2015. If so, they will change the security structure in Northeast Asia and will demand U.S. withdraws troops from northeast Asia. Starting from its long-term national interest, the author believes it is necessary to lay the foundation for maintaining the long-term U.S. military presence and deserves our vigilance and attention.
