In a televised address, South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun vowed to ensure that the war will not worsen the situation on the Korean Peninsula.
?I believe the war on Iraq was an inevitable measure to eliminate weapons of mass destruction as quickly as possible, at a time when diplomatic efforts to resolve the issue peacefully have failed,? he said.

Roh said South Korea would dispatch non-combat troops, including military engineers and medics, to help with the Iraq war. He also pledged to protect U.S. citizens and facilities in South Korea from possible terrorist attacks, the spokeswoman said.
Police patrols will be boosted at nearly 700 foreign facilities across South Korea, including embassies and diplomats? residences, which could be targeted for attack by terrorists or violent protesters, the National Police Agency said.
