By the way, the terrorists are still chalking up points in the PR war in Seoul. Naive and ludicrous. But here you have it....Yesterday in Seoul:

Praying for Mr. Kim.
He likely is a goner.
But oh boy, I pray he has found or found the Lord....and by some miracle, he will be spared.
How horribly sad.
The darn media has not been talking about this poor man as much since his not American.
Just disagraceful on the part of the media.
Excellent! I would only add that we should stop taking terrorists as prisoners but shoot them on sight.

The "US" darn media, that is. It is a huge story in Asia of course. A huge story. Nothing much new at this time. It is about sun up in Korea on Tuesday right now...middle of the night in Iraq.
I would think they'd report as soon as there is news. Saw the ordeal on Fox this morning.
Great post. I think these idiots are too stupid to figure it out.
I would hope we stopped taking prisoners shortly after the Abu Grab thing became such an presstitute orgy.
The phrase in your tagline is from one of my favorite hymns. I love the simple and pure and relational truth of it, and how it points me back to what's meaningful ... or rather, Who's meaningful....
Just checking in. Bump.
Praying, earnestly...
"Give Iraq back to the Iraqis."
See, it's signs like this that make me scratch my head and wonder how informed these people are. Is not the full governance of Iraq being turned over to Iraqis at the end of this month? Are they not having free and open elections next year? If non-Iraqis are there for conquest in imperialization, where are our spoils? Puzzling.
One thing is for sure is that there are a whole lot of people praying for him. The Korean church knows how to pray earnestly and if he is still alive there IS still hope. We must never forget that as Christians.
I would assume they mean, by those protest signs, every single American soldier and civilian out of Iraq now. (Can't have anything in the way of al Qaeda, Sadr or the Fedayeen Saddam taking over now, can we?)
"An Appeal by 365 Korean Organizations to the Iraqi Group Holding a Korean National (Translation by OhmyNews) We appeal for the release of the Korean national Kim Seon Il. Today the Korean people were overcome with shock at the news the Korean Kim Seon Il has been kidnapped in Iraq. His seizure and the threat against the life of this private citizen is already a source of unspeakable sadness for his family and the Korean people. This sadness and shock is the same for the many Koreans who have opposed the United States' unjust invasion and the deployment of Korean troops to Iraq. The Korean people are well aware of the fact that the US invaded Iraq for domination and oil, and not for the freedom and peace of the Iraqi people. We know also that the US occupation of Iraq has denied the Iraqi people their sovereignty and that there have been widespread human rights abuses by US forces there, leading to Iraqi pain and loss of life. For this reason we have done all that is humanly possible to prevent the deployment of Korean troops, as they will in no way contribute to the peace and security of the Iraqi people. The kidnapping and threatening a private citizen with death, however, will not contribute to Iraqi peace. The Iraqi people are right to resist the US's unjust invasion, occupation, and carnage. Nevertheless, kidnapping and threatening a private citizen with death cannot be justified. Doing so will only lead to a vicious cycle of blood and revenge. Again we make an earnest appeal. Please make your claims known through dialogue and release Kim Seon Il to his family as he is of no relation to government policy. 21 June 2004 Seoul, Korea People's Action Against the Dispatch of Korean Combat Troops to Iraq "
Where can I view this video?
MSNBC was reporting earlier today that when the new Iraqi interim government takes over in two weeks, they plan to used very harsh, undemocratic means to stamp out terrorism in their country. I was a little surprised that the attitude of both the MSNBC info-babe, and of the "expert" she was interviewing, seemed to be "ya gotta do what ya gotta do."
