IF Only..

I've loved you since I met you.. but I wouldn't allow myself to truly feel it until today. I was always thinking ahead. Making decisions out of fear. Today, because of what I learned from you.. every choice I made was different and my life has completely changed. And I've learned that if you do that, you're living life fully. It doesn't matter if you have five minutes or fifty years. Samantha, if not for today, if not for you.. I would never have known love at all. So thank you for being the person who taught me to love and to be loved.

steps are needed to end illegal China fishing

Another incident has taken place due to our government's insufficient measures and China's indifferece and failure to cooperate

coastguard officers
sustained injuries

in Korean waters
fell into the sea

suffered minor to severe injuries to their heads, arms and legs in the attack by the Chinese fishermen who wielded knives and scythes.

This is the latest in a string of events in which..

It's regrettable that another mishap occured in connection with China's illegal fishing
We vividly remember that..
during a raid on a boat violating Korean waters

injured while rounding up Chinese fishing boats..

These boats are often caught poaching in Korean waters
these tragic incidents
fundamental solutions have yet to be found
to double fines against illegal fishing.
illegal fishing and maritime violence..

To our regret, however, all these commitments and promises habe been futile in preventing the latest incident..

had illegally crossed into Korean waters in search of anchovies, blue crab and croaker..

More than anyting else, active cooperation from the Chinese authorities is indispensible to addressng the illegal fishing

be given the authority to shoot violently protesting fishermen.

we feel frustrated whenever we hear tragic stories from the West Sea and hope that the latest incident will serve as an occasion to put an end to tragedies there..

China crisis

Bo's downfall seen from Korean perspective

Sacked from his post as a Communist Party boss of a municipality, suspended from the party's powerful politburo

his son indulges in luxurious life overseas
relatives accumulate huge fortunes

the string of allegations that erupted
Bo Xilai fell from grace to  shame
prompting Koean media outlets to rush to print..
probabley the most serious crisis for China's fro China's Communist leadership since the 1989 Tiananmen square massacre..
Koreans seem to read sensational news stories with unfailing interest but hardly show any particular reation..

keeping a close watch on the China situation, conscious of the "special relations" between Korea and China, the wold's most populous country.

More than anythign, Beijing's anachronistic one-party autocracy  often becomes the subject of mockery.
an economic miracle and political developmetn in a short span of time, Korea maybe entilteld to tell Chian about democracy.
it turbulent modern histoy,
the inevitability may be understood.
embrace a pluralistic democray..

escalate into a fierce power struggle
the extent of its severity

falls into a downturn

none but China has the political clout to restrain North Korea

a fresh task
bogus reactor parts
Coming events cast their shadows before, an old saying goes. If this proves right, Koreans won't be able to shake off ominous feelings on possible nuclear  incidents here.
The nation's atomic power operators
who stirred social controversy
homebuilt knockoffs instead of authentic foreign products
vital pieces of equipment
refute the replicas are no different from originals

to prove such allegations true,
an official responsible for parts procurement
received kickbacks
evern the slightest difference in components

this utter insensitivity to safety
the nation's extremely poor preparedness for potential accidents
would be almost incomparable between

population density
the nation's emergency zones are too small
its stockpiles of thyroid medication which must be taken within five hours of radiation exposure

The Lee Myung-bak administration's ambitious "nuclear renaissance" program of exoprting reactors-regardless of whether it is desirable or even recommendable- cannot even take off withoug solving safety problems

Overseas sales aside,
to prevent a nightmarish scenario, all the officials involved, from president Lee dwon to manual workders, must renew their consciousness about safety..

President's silence

Handling power just any old way leads to disaster

Koreans know an administration's end is near when the prosecuttion starts to come in some of the President's men.
Corruption around the core of power is not the exception but the norm in this country. Still this particular administratio has gone too far, way too far.

Among those who helped to  make the presidency of Lee Myung-bak, few if any remain unscathed
made disgraceful exits form politics
the prosecution has just requested an arrest warrant for..

One might well have lost track of low-echelon aides and secretaries who have quit ther posts or are now in prison because of money-for favor irregularities..

for less than justifiable, let alone honorable, reasons

Even more astonishing than the rampant corruption itself was Lee's lack of sensitivity to and self-reflection on it.
Lee's words were so reluctant and cursory that few Koreans found genuine repentance in them.
as if there were stories of some faraway countries.
So much so the local media have come to suspenct Lee might sometiems have "outofbody experiences"
He has little ability of self-examination.

Have the law enforcement authorities finally turned their back on the lame-duc President to point their prosecutorial sword at him?

that does not seem to be the case, so far at least
we suspect the ongoing series of investigations and punishments are like lizards losng their own tails to protect their bodis, damage control to prevent the ripples from reaching the top
suspicious signs are everywhere.

without clearing away the president mess in ways peopel can accept,

if power changes hands, awaiting Lee will be a series of parliamentary hearings.

Lee and his administration will have made at least one pricess contribution to the coutnry-awaking Koreans to finally realize they canno longer let thier society , leadership and themselvs continue as they are..

imported beef's safety

Has government learned no lesson from 2008?

upon the report of another case of mad cow disease..
many Koreans recall events four years ago.
Unfortunately, they will likely continue to compare 2012 with 20089, given the lamentable lack of change in the government's behavior in dealing with the foremost issue of public health
