In the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks and the War with Iraq, the United States has been strengthening its status and role as an ‘absolute’ super power. To some extent, the US seems to be successful in justifying and making universal its major foreign policy directions against terrorism, weapons of mass destruction, dictatorship, and regional hegemons. Currently, North Korea is not willing to give up its nuclear weapons development program, ROK and the US need to restore the relationship between the two countries to its past level, to the extent that both countries fully share such as common goal for protection of a free ROK and a common concept of “main enemy” regarding Pyongyang’s totalitarian regime, and agreed policy directions toward North Korea’s nuclear program. Especially these days, when active discussion about a role change for US troops on the Korean Peninsula is rising, increased efforts for ROK national security are urgent.

To some extent, the US seems to be successful in justifying and making universal its major foreign policy directions against terrorism, weapons of mass destruction, dictatorship, and regional hegemons. Currently, North Korea is not willing to give up its nuclear weapons development program, ROK and the US need to restore the relationship between the two countries to its past level, to the extent that both countries fully share such as common goal for protection of a free ROK and a common concept of “main enemy” regarding Pyongyang’s totalitarian regime, and agreed policy directions toward North Korea’s nuclear program.
