Remember the mad protests about American beef in South Korea? The mass hysteria of biblical proportions (”cats and dogs living together!”) that gripped the country and led to its otherwise sensible president to apologize regarding the “hurried” negotiation over resumption of the importation of American beef?

GI Korea has an excellent and lengthy post on the background, events, and aftermath of the 2002 accident where a U.S. armored vehicle killed to schoolgirls. I arrived in Korea a few days after the accident, but things didn’t start to heat up until two months later, as I was returning to the States.

On my drive home, I was listening to a radio program, in which Korea “experts” were discussing the Lee Myung-Bak victory. Someone from the audience asked the question to the effect of, “With which American presidential candidate would Lee be the most comfortable?”
Experts were stumped, beyond the usual “He will get along with George Bush” [...]

I had a chance to appear on The O’Reilly Factor this evening to discuss the reaction to the South Korean hostage issue. First of all, I would like to thank Michelle Malkin (who subbed O’Reilly) for the opportunity.

Once again time to remember what happened in Kwangju on 18 May 1980; the 광주 사태, or the “Kwangju Uprising” (literally, the “Kwangju Situation”). Revisionist may refer to it as the: Kwangju Democratization Movement (광주 민주화운동), and while such a movement was bolstered by what happened there, that day was not about a democracy movement.
The [...]

Their subtitle for the article, “Anti-Europeanism is a bad response to anti-Americanism.” It presents an excellent example of them - Europeans - simply not getting it:
America’s anti-Europeans have three big complaints about the Old Continent. The first is that Europe is committing demographic and economic suicide. . The second is that, unlike America, Europe is [...]

South Korean President Roh Moo-Hyun is probably making Kim Myong-chol, the “unofficial spokesman of Kim Jong-il and North Korea,” nervous about his position. First he defends North Korea’s decision to go nuclear:
President Roh had a press conference with members of the Internet media to celebrate the fourth anniversary of his inauguration. This day he said, [...]
