Michael,

I think it was obvious, contrary to her explanation of 'reminding us of the seriousness', that it was an attempt to belittle.

Hi, Michael!

I certainly did not mean to suggest that being an American is bad--although it may induce a certain complacency that can border on stupidity.

I meant that the choice posted by TAS was naively simplistic (which does seem to be an unfortunate American trait). It is not a choice of letting people starve to death slowly or getting all the misery over in a flash. (BTW, who are we to make such a choice anyway?)

The political situation in the Koreas is far more complex than his posting suggested and its potential ramifications far more reaching....
