		<description>mizarv,
i think what you wrote was quite good. the left-wing agenda-driven media machine in korea has been depicting the 1999 treaty as an unfair agreement japan made while taking advantage of a korea weakened by the economic crisis (the so-called 'imf crisis,' as if the imf caused it).

i'm glad that the joongang ilbo (and hopefully others) is pointing that out.</description>

		<description>One Korean commentator has put the issue in real perspective....and should shame bigots like sugar shin and noolji who think nationality should be determined by compliance with a right-wing orthadox creed.

&lt;a href="http://joongangdaily.joins.com/200504/01/200504012149297209900090109012.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://joongangdaily.joins.com/200504/01/200504012149297209900090109012.html&lt;/a&gt;

JoongAng Ilbo's Kim Young-hie points out that "Shimane prefecture has demanded for 50 years that the central government take an interest in Dokdo as much as it has in the northern territories of Japan, but the Japanese government responded that the Dokdo problem is a nuisance...It was because the government took into account Korea-Japan relations... The establishment of ??Takeshima Day was intended to raise an issue before the Japanese people and Shimane prefecture residents...Arguments that the Japanese government supported or aided Shimane prefecture in creating Takeshima Day are far from the truth that I observed in both Tokyo and Shimane prefecture." 

Economically, Shimane is poor with a per capita income 15.6 percent lower than Japan's national average, and about 4,500 fishermen in Shimane are dependent on the rich fishing grounds near the Dokdo islands shared by Korea and Japan. Korea's willful violation of their fishing rights under the 1999 treaty was the provocation that caused Shimane fishermen to raise their voices resulting in the local legislature's adaptation of "Takashima Day"

Also, "linking the Dokdo islands situation to the greater issue of school textbooks that distort history is a strategic mistake."  After it was approved by the Japanese government in 2001, no school in Shimane prefecture has adopted it. 

Bottom line: the Dokdo issue is a shameful legacy for Korea. It was a provocation not by Japan, but by Korea, shamelessly looking to pick a diplomatic war with Japan, shattering the myth of "Korea has always been peaceful and never gone to war with any nation." 

The politicians are shamelessly exploiting the issue. The Roh government is irresponsibly unconcerned with public safety. People have set fire to their bodies and severed body parts in their misguided protests and misunderstanding of the Dokdo issue). 

The Roh government is naively unconcerned about the mounting damage to Korea's national interest and international reputation. 

Roh talks about being a "stabilizing influence for the region" and yet routinely engages unilaterally in such international provocations with its neighbors and allies.

And what about the the poor fishermen of Shimane? How can we Koreans shamelessly pretend to be so sensitive to the plight of the downtrodden when they are in fact hurting the poor fishermen to appease our own hatred of Hiorohito's Japan, a political entity which no longer eveb exists except in our own deluded minds?

The 1999 treaty which Korea violated is a lucrative one for Korea that has raised our fishing yield manifold. Yet our media is up to their disengenuous manipulations again, arguing that we made a mistake when we signed it (as though we had signed it under duress) and that it is "flawed" and invalid.

Internationally, Korea is gaining a well-deserved reputation as a nation that is manipulative, self-centered, irrational and childish and an unstable, untrustworthy ally. Treaties and agreements made with Korea are not worth the paper they are written on because we always seek to renegue by playing the innocent victim and maintaining we were taken advantage of when in fact, it is us who nickel and dime, hedge and violate our treaties. 

Pseudo patriots, don't lecture people about patriotism when you really mean jingoism. Patriotism is the bravery to face and correct our wrongs - not the perverse obstinacy to perpetrate what is most odious about us in the name of national pride.</description>

		<description>Sugar"You know, I piss on the types like Mizbeav..."

Um, your toileting habits fall under the category of "too much information" - not just gross but desperate red herring arguments. 

Robertneff"I personally believe that Tokdo is Korean."

Like everything on earth, Tokdo is up for grabs. Japan lost it to Korea. 

The Tokdo flareup is not easy for foreigners to understand/feel. You have to understand "Korean patriotism", a story unto itself. Logic and reason are all out the window. We are simply desperate to beat the Japanese and this is our way of hitting after the bell.</description>
