  1. This was an enlightening article. There have only been a few things I knew about the Koreas. The first was the huge demonstration they had against accepting beef infected with Mad Cow disease from the US. The second information I had about North Korea was that they had a starving time & their people are now shorter than the South Koreans. I can appreciate their desire not to be under the US empire after reading this article, not that I think the dictator they have now is a good thing. I have watched the dancing presented to the North Koreans leaders, which is done in perfect unison and with everyone dressed exactly alike and thus hundreds of little closes with not individual creativity or interactions are seen. This vision sometimes comes to my mind when I see the children in our US charter schools all dressed in their dull uniforms.

    One question I have is if South Korea had the nuclear weapon capability before North Korea?

  2. You probably don’t remember me, Mr Shorrock, but I met you and you gave me some documents about Kwang Ju in 2003 before I went back to S Korea with Yoomi Jeong to testify for the Korean Truth Commission about having been stationed with the US Army in S Korea at the time of the Kwang Ju massacre. I just want to thank you for this article about Holbrooke’s involvement in the Kwang Ju atrocity. I am always interested in more information about that time and what happened.

  3. Beautiful peace and so relevant for today’s events. Meticulous research. Probably, similar research would have to be done sometimes in the future when we–if we were still alive–would find about the real stances of the Obama administration regarding the revolution in Egypt!
