BTW, I met the Dali Lama several times in the U.S. One of his brothers opened the first Tibetan restaurant in the U.S. (The Snow Lion) in my alma-mater’s hometown, Bloomington, Indiana. Shortly, after that, they built a Buddhist temple there too. Both the Dali Lama and the brother of his I met are super cool, but I can certainly understand the political reasons why a country would deny entry to him.

Haha, I couldn’t resist to show off my language skills by uttering the famous Bill Murray speech, “gungal gu, no wait, gungala gun gungulu” from Caddyshack to him — he died laughing. Quite honestly, I was shocked at his near-native English ability, and for sure his wit and sense of humor.

Let’s not forget that Kim Dae-Jung refused to grant the Dali Lama entry during his Kim’s time as president. Spineless, hypocritical piece of crap.

I personally think Kim DaeJung is on Chinese payroll. He likes money, as you know, accepting bribes from Rho(the first Rho).

Why did he turn the country from pro-US to pro-North? Why? Even a child can see that as long as KJI is alive, Korean Unification will not happen. Then, why help KJI? Why send money?

Is he brain-damaged? Chun, who is a spokesperson for Hannara, officially said this. Why is Kim DaeJung such a bird-brained? What did he accomplish, other than weakening Korean defense?

He is working for the Chinese. That is my conclusion.

Nonsense.

Uh, which western countries have refused to allow him to visit? A quick google search showed he visited the US many times, Canada, Europe including Belgium, Ireland and others, India, Italy, etc, etc.

Well, I’m sure he wouldn’t be welcome at Google’s corporate headquarters.

Uh, which western countries have refused to allow him to visit? A quick google search showed he visited the US many times, Canada, Europe including Belgium, Ireland and others, India, Italy, etc, etc. Despite what Roh and his pack of fools think, China is not a better partner than the US. Oh, sorry, I forgot, SK is ‘neutral’ and ‘independent,’ a ‘balancer’.

China already possesses 75% of the Cheonji, sorry to say. But I do agree with you that there would be tremendous resistance — including long-term guerrilla warfare by North Korea’s most-excellent commandos, some of the world’s best — if China attempted to militarily occupy North Korea following a collapse of its régime. China would have to be far more subtle than that to effectively gain control of the North Korean territory, if the Kim JI government does indeed fail.

And no, Kim Dae-jung neither is nor ever was a Communist, by any definition… quite a centrist moderate, really, by 20th-century political standards. Some corruption problems that stain his reputation….

Shame on him! Shame on Roh!

Baduk,
man, Kim ain’t a Commie. Park Chung-Hee also flirted in his early years with Communism (just like Mussolini by the way), but then you know what he’d become. Sometimes you sound like those elder Korean fascist ajeossis, calling everybody a Commie who doesn’t share their political camp or provincial roots.

When China tries to “absorb” the Northern half of Korea, then them damn idiots will create their own bloody version of Nam. No North or South Korean would accept Chinese troops pissing in our Cheonji.
