I have to say I disagree fundamentally with any opposition leader meeting with the leaders of a foreign country. Elections in a democratic country are to elect representatives for the entire country, not just the people who vote for them

Indeed. And, in Korea we have a very unusual set of circumstances where the Roh Moo-hyun governemt does NOT speak for a majority of Koreans. It is presently supported by a little over 20%.

On the other hand, Ms. Park's Grand National Party has majoriyt status in the National Assmebly and routine routs the weak and hapless Uri party every time they contest a seat.

In a parliamenary system Roh Moo-hyun would be long gone and his band of incompetents with him. And at the end of his term, he will be.

In the meantime, thinking Koreans are trying their best to head to head off and disrupt the worst of the blundering (many would call them treasnoous)acts of the present disastrous government in anticipation of the time it will fall into competent hands again.
