With luck the rejection of the FTA, followed by a reactionary harsher stance from the US, will precipitate the US withdrawal of military from Korea and bring closer the possibility of reunification with the North. These troops are a hostage, the idaho farmboy equivalent of the Lonestar investment in KEB. That ramble besides, I'm just laughing at the latest fortune of poor little lee myoung bak. I hope he ends up killing himself. Nobody said the path toward Reunification was going to be easy.

Can expats no longer make racist comments about Koreans and Gyeopos on this blog? Is it ok to talk about Tibet and democracy in China on this blog. We already know criticism of the US or whiteguys-korean wives is out of line. Is this comment itself out of line? Jump the shark indeed. See what happens to brand value when you oversell your franchise. The removal of posts is a little strange. Can expats no longer make racist comments about Koreans and Gyeopos on this blog?

At the rate it's going, the FTA will be history soon enough, and the Obama White House and Democrat Congress will steer the US away from "making money" (evil! evil!) and concentrate on "justice" and all that other good stuff... by dropping the FTA and slapping retaliatory trade measures on Korean products to curry favor with US industrial workers in the name of fair trade. jeez — Don’t give up hope.

Anyway, don;t let the lilliputians tie you down. Remember what the man said about writing for their edification rather than their approbation.

You guys here really think this is just about mass hysteria concerning a fictional disease? Fucking unbelievable. This is about incompetency of the government, how they failed to negotiate a fair deal with the U.S. over beef that numerous other countries attained. It's about the unwillingness of the government to listen to its people, their arrogant attitude that they can do whatever the fuck they want once they're elected. And it's about the injustice of how they violently and illegally disperse peaceful demonstrations every night, wounding unarmed civilians, many of them women and high school students. Many Koreans, in fact, would probably have accepted the deal if we decided only to import cattle slaughtered when under 30 months old and took rigorous measures to prevent srm materials from slipping in. The point is that WE DON'T WANT YOUR SHIT DUMPED IN OUR YARD. I suppose this might find slightly too difficult for you folks to understand since you sell industrial waste to third world countries all the fucking time. Americans always pretend like they are interested in lofty ideals like justice, democracy, equality and freedom. Reading these posts so worried about the FTA convinces me that all they're ever really interested in is money. Man I can’t believe how stupid and biased people can be.

They've also succeeded in taking over the korean internet and all public air way channels. This crap is so deep rooted now it looks like this country isn't going to go anywhere politically, diplomatically, and economically. It's all going down, down, down.
