I am a Korean immigrant who flee from Park Chunghee's totalitarian regime in the early 70's. I became an American citizen. I value freedom and human rights. And I cherish what America stands for.

S. Koreans do not seem to understand Bush Administration is doing everything they can to maintain peace and prevent war in that peninsular. Nobody wants a war there. Koreans do not have oil. But they want to play with nuclear bombs. And it is very important for them to have bombs because they do not like Americans or Japanese. Well, do they like Chinese or Russians?

Americans are very busy people just like S. Koreans. We can go about our daily business without worrying about millions of dying North Koreans from hungers and tortures. No. America really, truly do not wish to have war against Koreans. No American youth has any reason to shed blood there. For what reason?

What is great about America is we stand out for our rights. If a terrorist shows up in our backyard and killing our innocent family members, he would be taken care of. If we are threatened by an insane clown, we will retaliate. The reason Germany and Japan are so thriving today is because of their total surrenders. It is General MacArthur, not the Meiji Reformation, the founding father of Today's Japan, you know?

It is sad to say that unlike Iraq N. Korea will not have many or any country opposing a war against them should they continue to pursue. No, maybe with an exception of S. Korea.

So I have a message for you, young Koreans. You can choose today between black and white. Or you can remain as Korean with coward, oriental silence.
