Greetings to this community of Korea well-wishers. It is a particularly acute struggle at this time to get Koreans to wake up to hard reality. Part of the difficulty is in the fact the the miracle on the Han (as with the German wirtshaeftswuender before it) has been cossetted in the USA security guarantee. Part of it, as in Europe and North America, lies in the profoundly pernicious influence of the mostly Marxist liberal arts and social sciences professoriate of the universities. For Koreans, some measure of it also may be due to residual cultural insularity, the Korean diaspora and the Korean global marketing effort notwithstanding. For my part in communicating with younger Koreans, and I would hope that others would employ similar: have tried to contrast the historical examples of Lee Soon-shin and Dae Jo-young, what with the great bravery and stalwart attitudes they showed in the face of mortal adversity to the Korean people, with the "all-powerful to be powerless" attitudes of appeasement exemplified by Roh Moo-Hyun and Chung Dong-young.

Obviously in the case of the community of the latter two, and Kim Dae-jung before them: if you were to admit that the attitude of ransom paying (be it money, policy, prisoners) is wrong, then soon the dismantlement of Seoul's "Stockholm Syndrome" must touch on that holiest of holies, the "Sunshine Policy" towards the Kim family regime holding 23 million Koreans hostage. Likely they'd sooner cut their own hearts out then wake up to that.

It would be ironic if the newly reformed Japanese Ministry of Defense put together a rescue operation to save these noble Korean souls. *GUFFAW*

How about they ask North Korea to use its influence on the taliban to free the hostages?
