Special Asia by Blog
Given the beheading of Kim Sun Il in Iraq I thought it appropriate to collate some more good links with details of the aftermath. Ruminations in Korea has been leading the way with some great links and some appalling stats at the same time. Marmot also has further reports including the disturbing report that Kim's family had been told he was safe and would be released (article is in Korean). He also makes the following point: I've given Roh a lot of grief over the way he has handled the Iraq issue, but his government just made a very VERY difficult decision -- a decision that just got a Korean national killed. Regardless of whether you agree with that decision or not, I can't see how anyone could disparage the president's and his government's fortitude tonight.He's right. Despite extreme pressure the South Korean Government has shown the fortitude to stick with its plans for sending troops to Iraq. That is to be applauded and admired. posted by Simon on 06.23.04 at 12:37 PM in the Asia by blog category.
