Worswick:

I agree with you about Kristoff - I've been following him around Asia for a long time now.

More importantly, reading his piece this morning was the first time I fully realized (or was made to think) how different Kim Dae-jung is, and how his frankness is quite a new story for Korea and Asia for that matter(except Phillipines and India, I reckon).

Frankness from a position such as his could have real impact on "crony" capitalism, Japanese bank secrets, and other fundamental issues.

It could also cause serious difficulties with China and who knows what other pain and suffering. I guess this retired radical (me) is getting old enough to fear, or at least be cautious of, radical change.

Still, Kristoff does elicit the fresh smell of spring in Korea.
