His statement "As far as South Korea-U.S. relations are concerned, what the Korean public is asking for is the continued development of the partnership between the two countries through enhanced mutual understanding and respect as well as joint efforts for promoting common values and interests." is also untrue. That is not what the Korean people want, what they want is for America to withdraw their troops from Korea. The ONLY reason the Korean people calmed down is because their government threatened them. Why did they do that? That is the question that should be answered by Foreign and Trade Minister Choi Sung-hong. He talks about a SOFA that better protects the Korean people then where was he when the SOFA was being debated two years ago, where was the American hate then. I just do not understand a country that can go from hot to cold so fast. I think the Korean people need to decide once and for all about their hate towards Americans. Don't say we don't hate them then turn around and put up signs saying "Fucking GI", "Murderous GIs", and let Taxi's drive around with little red flags on them that say in Korean "Murderous GI's Kill Them All". You cannot change what you have done so far so don't try and say the world is taking it the wrong way. The world is taking it the way you wanted them to take it.

I am sure this letter is not what the Korean Herald likes to hear so they might not print it. That is why I am sending it to as many papers as I can. Sometimes the truth hurts.
