Does South Korea really want to be known as the country that coddles Kim Jong-il and gets its marching orders from the Taliban?

Your concise distinctions between the three major groups that kidnap are helpful in clarifying the differences among the players in Iraq and clearing up misunderstandings. Excellent post, GI Korea!

At least that's the sentiment I'm getting from the treachrous water that is Korean online forums. More than Anti American accusations, really. "We told you God doesn't exist" is the typical reponse from Korean atheists. Speaking of "hypocrisy" - how about the nerve of Korean netizens characterizing Christians as reckless radicals or zealots? Guilty of acting out of passion and ignoring common sense, decency, and cultural sensitivity? This is coming from a land reputed for its high drama hissy fits aimed against the superpowers. I verily doubt that flag eaters and finger choppers are equipped with perspective or tact. Or that they're all deacons sitting in a Chrisitian church. Megaphone yielding scaremongerers who raise fire and brimstone on subway stations are no different from Dokdo defenders. Whether on religion or national issues, some Koreans just choose to spread their message through incessant complaints and hamstrung tatics. This whole crisis is a KOREAN problem, and I don't buy people shifing blame on christianity. Christians did some good things to lift Korea from the dark ages. Didn't Yu Gwan Soon attend ehwa women's school, founded by American missionaries? Inspired by methodist teachings? I know some OLD SCHOOL Korean pastors deride the NK govt and praise American GIs from the war. A very FEW actually has the guts to critize anti Japanese sentimens in Korea. (I said a few). Hmm, makes you think. The release of the hostages is greeted not by jubliation or relief (of course) but with anti Christian rhetoric.
