Ted, <Its hard to keep up with your change in moods.> There's nothing wrong with cultural and nationalistic pride. In fact, it's what made South Korea the economic powerhouse it is today. Unfortunately, the pride can easily turn into arrogance, i.e. the exact kind of arrogance America is accused of having. Get this: Some South Koreans are now welcoming the prospect of a reunified, nuclear-armed Korea. Now how stupid is that? I have nothing against Kim Dae Jung's "sunshine policy," nor do I have anything against the criticism of Bush's apparent unilateralism. If diplomacy is going to work, it has to start with South Korea, not America. Nor am I alarmed over a bunch of anti-American protests, for such events have been common over the past two decades. But I do have a problem when Koreans start acting like idiots and get wild delusions of grandeur. It's not out of spite, but rather a fear that success can easily leave Korea as quickly as it came.
