<Beheading of a S. Korean> Exploding Demands to Military for Retaliation

(Seoul: Yonhap News) Hwang Dae-il reporting
After the news of Kim Seon-il(age:33)'s murder by Iraqi Resistance Group spread over the country, the website of Ministry of Defense was flooded with messages urging retaliation.

Especially, some posters were so consumed with rage that they vent their hatred against not only the terrorist group which murdered Mr. Kim, but also Iraq as a country and the Iraqis as a whole.

A guy whose handle name is 'I am a corporal, too' exhorted, "Wipe out everything in Iraq, to the last grass. Declare war against Iraq at once. Doesn't S. Korea have any backbone? Send paratroopers and marines to wipe Iraq off the Globe."

Another guy raised his voice, saying, "Iraqis are no longer human. Let us hunt devils in human form living in Iraq."

Another request demanded that the mission of Suh-hee, Jema Units(S. Korean medical and engineering units), serving in Nasiriah in Southern Iraq, be changed (into combat), and repay them with death.

One poster appeared to have almost lost his mind, saying, "Zaitun Unit(note: 3,000 strong S. Korean unit soon to be dispatched) should be a combat unit and sent to Fallujah. Slaughter all men, women, young and old. That should be Zaitun Unit's mission."

A poster named Song Dong-hoon argued, "Now that our brother was killed, what's the use for relief work? Even if we have to hire mercenaries, we have to take revenge until we catch the culprits. 50 million Koreans were humiliated. We should not help their rebuilding. We should keep retaliating until the suspects are caught."

Many posters lined up to volunteer for the mission if combat troops were to be organized to retaliate against the group which murdered Mr. Kim.

A man named Chae Young-soo said, "If they take volunteers for combat troops, I will sign up unconditionally. Innocent Korean son was brutally murdered. I cannot take it anymore. I want to fight terrorists even if I would be killed by them. I want a merciless revenge."

A man named Oh Sang-jin expressed his fury, "I am a second-year reservist. I want to re-enlist and wipe them out in Iraq. I like to show what Koreans are made of."

Some harshly rebuked the government for their lack of sound negotiating strategy, killing Kim Seon-il, while Japan was able to secure the release of their hostages.

This times around, there were few messages opposing the troop dispatch. When the news of Mr. Kim's kidnapping first broke, many such messages flooded the website.

Oh, and by the way, let's just declare war on Islam while we're at it. Islamists everywhere are not taking to the streets, television, talk radio, etc. to denounce the actions taken by their barbarous brothers.

Even Mort Kondrake, appearing on FOX's "Special Report" stated that he receives tons of emails from various pro-Muslim groups whining about "hate" crimes (I would guess that means reporting on the atrocities committed by them around the world, truthfully) but have never emailed him to denounce any of the beheadings.

I think they are actually afraid of South Korea.

Re #15

Yeah, lefties are yakking as usual. A few thousand showed up tonight. They plan to do protests until the troop dispatch is canceled. However, this time around, they are swimming against the tide.

Neal Boortz has been on a several rants due to this and similar.

He is right about it. And it is going to hit us inside our borders before the election. We better be ready. The terrorists won in Spain and they are bent on influencing our November election---and it won't be from half a world away.

Looks like some of the posts here yesterday about nuking Iraq. At least they are blaming the right people, the terrorists, and not their own government like the anti-American liberals in America do.

Yes. The whole video did show the beheading, but, from what I heard, no media (including Arab) have played that part of the video.

ping for Bob!

Funny, all I've heard from the radio news is that S. Koreans are demanding their gov't NOT send more troops.

If I didn't know better, I'd think that there was some media biasing going on!

/begin my translation Muslims 'Shocked'...Worry about 'Angry Public Backlash' Police beefs up the security around Mosques (Seoul-Yonhap) Ahn Hee reporting: When the news reported that Kim Seon-il(age:33) was murdered by Iraqi armed group which kidnapped him on 23rd (of June), irate citizens made 'threatening phone calls' to the mosque in Hannam-dong Yongsan-ku, Seoul, (S. Korea), which raised the tension inside. Muslims who came to a prayer found it incredulous that the kidnapped S. Korean was murdered in the end. They also worried about the public backlash from S. Koreans

God bless the South Koreans! Had Spain reacted in the same way, I think AlQaeda would not have been so emboldened.

Anyone that thinks we are not smack in the middle of a World War is completely delusional and denying reality.

I have seen the South Korean soldiers first hand, these are very tough people.They're daily Physical training starts off with calisthentics and Ty Kwon Doe and finishes off with a 5-10 mi run in BDU pants and combat boots.It doesn't sound all that impressive until you see them running in sub freezing temps with no shirts brrrrr.And all this for $7 a month.We used to call em "rock" soldiers. ROC is an acronym for Republic of Korea.

"there will not be a Muslim left alive on this earth."

(Out of decency I feel I should begin the statement with "unfortunately" but I cannot) this does seem to be the direction the muslims wish to take this war.They have picked a fight with the entire planet. With the tactics they have employed and the ultimate goals they have espoused they have decreed a "final solution' for us or them.

The muslims that continue to "ride the fence" are going to have to make a decision. WE are fighting for our survival and if the fence riders are swept away by the ensuing fight sorry about that, but you gotta make a stand somewhere and this is the time to do it.

Yeah, all of a sudden they have a conscience? No, they just are trying to keep down the payback this calls for.

won't release the video becuase it "may be disturbing for their viewers"...

Good Grief... don't tell me that in the future, these murderers are going to tone down their beheadings to get the proper ratings for maximumizing their airtime.

Reminds me of Hollyweirds practice of selecting how much sex or violence or language to put in a movie to get a desired rating of R or PG, etc.

Not all Koreans direct the anger to the right place.

Following the early morning announcement that Iraqi terrorists had killed a South Korean national outside of Baghdad, a protester holds a portrait of U.S. President George W. Bush (news - web sites) with the Korean word 'Murder' in protest of the South Korean government's involvement in post-war Iraq (news - web sites) near the U.S. Embassy in downtown Seoul, Wednesday, June 23, 2004. The captors beheaded Kim Sun-il, a 33-year-old South Korean working for a supply company in Iraq, after Seoul refused to meet their demand to cancel its deployment of 3,000 troops to the war-torn nation. The South Korean government on Wednesday reaffirmed its plan to send troops to Iraq despite the killing of Kim. (AP Photo/ Lee Jin-man)
