Examines anti-US sentiment in the Republic of Korea (ROK) & advocates reconciliation of this trend to prevent continuing harm to international relations. Conflicting US foreign policy, namely the inclusion of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) in George W. Bush's label, "axis of evil," with recent diplomatic efforts under the sunshine policy between the ROK & DPRK, have produced negative sentiment among the general public & policymakers. Historical & intellectual contributors to anti-American feelings as well as the impact of the media & changing demographic structure are identified. Support for maintenance of positive US-ROK international relations is presented, & suggestions to alleviate policy-oriented & emotional anti-Americanism are outlined. L. Collins
