Before I forget.. thanks fluffy for the insight into buchanan. Regardless of who he is.. I still think he makes some interesting points and coming from someone with a bit of status (regardless of what you think of him), that suggests to me that this idea is bouncing around somewhere in the top echelons of US political thought.

I think the point is that the Japanese and South Koreans would. And the question here isn't how much time or money it will cost, but rather WHO's time and money it will cost.
Japan is the world's 3rd largest economy.. It's not like it can't fill in the gap the US will leave open.
South Korea is not exactly a poor country either.
Furthermore it won't be like the US is abandoning them as allies.
