"Apparently, North and South are hoping for re-unification, wishing the U.S. would stop meddling. The U.S., of course, wants to maintain their strategic presence in the area."

Well, the North might want reunification... under their terms.

And I am glad that you are so knowledgable on what the US wants. I think that we would, of course, withdraw in an instant if we did not have treaty commitments and feel that the UN resolutions amd ceasefire were worth upholding.
