U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates is in South Korea this week to show unity between the two countries and to plan joint-military drills meant to-- as one U.S. military official put it-- send a message of deterrence to North Korea.
This comes four months after the sinking of a South Korean warship- the Cheonan- which killed 46 soldiers.
The United Nations condemned the attack, but did not go as far as laying blame on North Korea.
An international investigation led by south Korea concluded it was sunk by a North Korean torpedo, which North Korea denies.
