"We should leave the negotiations up to Japan, South Korea, and North Korea. Japan knows how to manage Korean labor..."

Hehe...

If you are referring to the fifty-year occupation of Korea by the Japanese, I get your point.

It was thought this atrocity would have been forgotten and forgiven by the end of the 20th century. But the Asian mind in Korea keep passing it to the next generation.

However, the reciprocal "eye-for-an-eye" philosophy of Islam doesn't necessarily reflect the ideaologies of either of the Koreas or China.

The Islamic mind views "The West" as being infidel invaders blaspheming the "holiness" of Muslim ground by their physical presence on Muslim soil.

This is the very precept to wage their jihads against America and all non-Muslim nations not willing to embrace Islam.

The (oriental) Asians really could care less about whether Allah was a bartender in Hong Kong or Jesus was a cab driver in Seattle.

But both the Asian and Islamic worlds clash with the Western ideaologies in respect to fairness in the distribution of wealth.

This is the primary condition and cause for unrest in the Middle East in that the economically depressed Islamic nations are lashing out against Western nations and living standards and demanding their share of wealth under the guise of holiness or the phisod of their jihad.

Take the Palestenians against the Isrealis for example. This clash of principles is more about the economic distribution of wealth than it is about the disagreements and differences in religions or faith.

If the Muslims (and the Jews) believed one-tenth in their basic religious ideaolgies of fairness and goodness, they would be willing to coexist and work out their religious differences in peaceful ways.

Was the screen name "Senator Patty Murray" taken when you signed up? Such a pity.

Really? Perhaps you should spend more time reading the Koran and learning about the instructions for treating the Jews than reading Karl Marx and class warfare.
