Unbelievably horrible. Not that it's any surprise. What IS a surprise is how S.Korea is trying to silence and hamper his depature.
Why do you think this is?
There are many in the government who believes that it is PC to cover up for N. Korea. These are one-time die-hard pro-North anti-Americans, and their reflex dies hard. Their worst nightmare is to make America look good by taking on N. Korea. Pathetic, don't you think?
Pure evil. Those who, for their own power and gratification, sacrfice the lives and well-being of others, deserve death. It is the responsibility of those with power - whether in government, media, or education - to protect (in the case of the media, protect by telling the truth and serving the truth) and serve those who are influenced by them. To so the opposite is just pure evil.

TLR: thanks for post. Nothing surprising from the ROK side. I might take issue with the comment that the ROKs are scared s&^%less. More like the govt's worried about the effect quick reunification will have on their economy.
I know that's a concern, but it definitely pales in comparison to your post.
Aside from the goofball lefties who are too young to remember or care about 1950-1953, South Korea is also afraid of what a crisis would come about from having 17 million North Koreans come running over their border screaming for food. It would be probably the biggest refugee crisis of all time. Still inexcusable however.
I saw a big protest in S. Korea back in '96 when I was visiting my brother who was the 2nd ID back then. It was right outside the Camp Casey gate. My brother and his friend had just gone through the gate and his wife and I were about to go through when they closed the gate -- nobody could come or go.
He eventually got back through but they had to bring in ROK's 4-deep in riot gear to control the situation.
The protest was over a soldier who had killed a Korean hooker. They were angry at America and Clinton. Glad to know there are no Korean thugs anywhere on the peninsula who would ever do such a thing. Deep thinkers all...

Question: Will Kerry and the Democrats continue to undermine the ability of the President to do something about North Korea and Iran and claim they're being patriotic?
I know the fear of quick unification is a factor. However, there is more going on due to leftist background of many in government. Such a general fear encouraged lefties to spout their long-held dogma.
Nice to see you again. I guess Uncle Sam still keeps you busy.:)
Always. Interesting times.
Granted it is WWI first generation chemical weaponry but when used in a first strike at say 0300 hrs against industrial areas such as railyards areas surrounding airfields or against communications hubs & traffic choke points it would have a great effect on the ability of the defending forces to get mobilized.
