"SEOUL, South Korea - South Korea (news - web sites)'s parliament on Friday approved extending the mission of its 3,600 troops in Iraq (news - web sites) for another year."

"South Korea completed deploying its forces to the Kurdish town of Irbil last month, becoming the third-largest contributor of troops to the coalition after the United States and Britain. The South Korean contingent is not involved in combat operations and consists mostly of engineers and medics who repair roads and offer free medical services."

韓国は英米に次ぐ3,600 の兵士を派遣。(自衛隊は600人ぐらいだっけ?)

韓国での反米感情は日本とは比較にならないほど強いと聞いてたので、少々驚いたニュースでした・・・。
