And in some ways they have a right to be mad, because of our troops that are there. A few of them have done some bad things and their presence prevents reunification at the moment. But in another way they should be happy that the troops are there. Because it is the presence of U.S. troops the past 50 years that let them have the better life then that of ones who live in the North.

Our troops prevent reunification, of course. If we withdraw, you will see immediate reunification as the armies of the North once again sweep South. The whole concept that our army prevent reunification is propaganda, inspired by the North and communists in the South, and their fellow travelers throughout the world, to get the US to withdraw.
However, I for one do not want our troops there anymore. We need to get out, but on the basis that the Korean situation is resolved - like Germany - with peaceful reunification. Our policies in both the short and long term must be directed to such reunification.
As I see it, the ONLY way this can be accomplished is with the consent and cooperation of China and Russia, but most importantly, China. I think the untimate deal will be that we agree to pull our troops out as soon as reunification is complete. The Chinese, understandably, do not want US troops on their border.
The current dialog with China concerning nukes and missles may provide a basis for cooperation to end the Big Brother regime of Kim. But, if China agrees, we can end the regime in days and weeks by simply cutting them off from aid, power and all other resources - or by threatening it.
