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.

coolbiz controversy..

weathermen say it will b e another long, hot sumer, putting officials on emergency alert to prevent possible power blackouts..

he ahs came up with the freshest and bolest idea so far to combat excess use of electirty to power air conditionling units.Employees at the metropolitan government can  work in shorts and sandals in offices as long as they  are not receving visitors and dealing with complaints..

the idea itself is not original but taken form Japan  wherer energy conservatio is a national priority after operations were suspended at all 54 of its atomic power plants..

his objective of saving energy equivalent to at least one nuclaer power plant's production is laudable, especially at a time when crude imports form Iran is in quesiotn
if coolbiz attire can put all of the nation's atomic power plants at rest, there is no reason we shouldn't fololow the example..

there is oppotion to the too liberal dress code, particular froom conservatives  who fear a downturn in work discipline and the diginity of pubiic officials..

these concderns are not entirely grondless. what one wears can affect his or her thinking and loose clothing can lead to loose mindset.it's ultimately up to employess themselves not to let casual become careless.there are alseo reports that casual dress boosts creativity

one can less readily agree with the second reason. most people know all to well how fully-dressed, dignified-looking emplyeoss have weated taxpayers' money , receving bribea nd prused meany kinds of irrgularityes

he plans to do some catewalk modeling at a fashon show to promote his energy saving resolve.

justice for force workers

it is now governments' turn to respond..

it was a landmark decision by any standars. the Supreme court's ruling Thusrday in favor of eight forced laborers seeking compensation form japanese companies was significant not only legally but also politically and historically..

we wholeheartly welcome the top courts' decision which show, if blately, what the judicature of an independent, self-repecting nation should be

it was fitting that the nation's highest tribunal overtruned rulings by its japanaese counterpart as well as lower Korean courts based on the notion taht the conscription during the colonial peoriod was legitimate. we, along with all Koreans, agree with the corut's decision that such mistaken views "contradict the core valuse of the Republic of Korea's  Constitution"

rightly contradicted Tokyo's allegation and seoul's consent to it that the bilateral treatry of 1965 settled all property claims, including those by individuals, once and for all. the absurdity of such an assertion is obvious even to laypersons, given that  issues of sex slaves and forced workers did not even emerge when the aggrement was signed..

as it is in breach of the "principal of good faith.."

settling historical scores in a rather slapdash way

more symbolic than substantive, considering the tears shed and toil these people endured along with grudeges and resentments accumulated over...
the ruling was judicial redefinding of modern history

monetarily..

all wartime wrongdoings and mistakes at government level
making vague apologies..

At som rish of losing foucus, one can't help but point out the insincerity of the Korean government..
It's understandable, but not agreeable that Tokyo still remains mum on the ruling.

effect of FTAs

consumers sould benefit from lowered tarrifs

there has been intensifying debate in Korean ont he pros and ocns of free trad aggremments ove th elast few yeasrs. Proponent claim that free trad deals will enable Korean businesses to explore oveseas markets moree actively  tahks to lowered tariffs. Opponents say FTAs will benefi large conglorerates and the rich at the expense of farmers and small- and  medium-sized businesses.

its's diffucult to say wihich side is right becasue our FTA his tory with major traind partnesr has been relatively short, More recently, howerver, there have been reports shwoing positive reuslts from our free trade packs..

Data released by the Korea Customs Service Sunday that Koea's exports to the United statas rose 11.3 percent durign the  frist tow months after the landmark free trade agreement wnet into effec. Exprts to the United States amounted to ...from March 15 TO..., while imports form the United Staates rose a meager 2 percent ..for the two-month period..

during the same period,Korea's total shipmetns fell 4 percent form a year ago to..., hit by falling demand amid Erurope';s deepening debt cirsis and Chnia's economic slowdown.

Drawing our particular attention i stha texports to the United States were led by products whose tariffs were lowered due to th FTA- petroleumproducts wer up 42 percent, followd by automobiles and aotu omponets. this mean that withoutthe Kora-U.S. FTA, Korea would ahve benn hit hard in its expots and trade balance.

the effect of the free trade accord was alsoe evident in Erurope. Acoording thethe Ministyr of Statety and Finance, shiipments of kOrean product to Europe whose tariffs were lowerec due to the FTA jumped 27percent in the second hafl fo laast year, althour Koeaa's total exports to EUREOPE Fell..

of course, its' too early to paint a rosy picture for FTAs with the short-term ruseult but we are positive about the impact they will have o our  economy, given that Korea relies on exports for nearly 70 percent of  its economic growth..

Nevertheless, there are tow points tobe heed. First of all, the government should not be in a hurry to concluede subsuquent deal with China and Japan. Our trade negotiateor will hav to be more careful in talks with China, takdin tinot accoutn ath a good numberof armers and fishersmen will be affecte negatively.

the governemtn alseo neds to take concree meassureto let Korean consumers benefit form lowerd tariffs in the wake of FTA implementaiton. So far, import prices of some products such as beer and orage juice remain high despite cuts in import duties as imperters and distrubutors make illict gains..

taste of money , power lead monks astray

the scandal about gambling monks rocking the nation's Buddhist community seems to know no bounds. a former special advisor to the executive chief o fthe largest Jogye Order recently disclosed that playing high-stakes poker was customanry aoong rankding monks, some of whom enven went abroad to gamble..

even more stunning than these deviant acts was the exuse made by a senior Jogye monk. "playing card is a recreational culture that is good at preventing dementia,". It is hard to just laguth away the remark despite or becasue of his post  defending the relision..

it has long been an open secre that many monks, especialy those in high administrave post, drink wine and somoke cigarettes, saying they have achieved too high a spiritual enlightment to be bound by theses petty taboos. the whistleblower who first leaked the video clip of the gambling monks alse expsoed monks highes in the Jogye Order frequented expensiv ehostess basrs and even paid for sex..

we know the ongoing exposreu, ture or not, is apst of an ineral power struggle, as the Buddhist leasres say. yet the point as most people see it is not the reason or circumstance but the fact most of it has happend...

we afraind the scandals and ugly revelations amy not end easily bur recur, althogut he Buddisht leadersip is pledign to repent by abstaiingin fomr flesh and fish, Most Koeans stil remember the blody battley a tJogye Temple"in 1994, as bands of rival monks and their hired thugs physiccaly forugh gor control of the odrer, which owns ast amoutn of property, the subsequent reform drive went up in smoke amid another violent clash fure years later.

redeployment destined for threatihng peace and stability on Koean Peninsula..

the fact that a U.S.'s congressional committee has passed an amendment on redeploying tactical nuclear weapons on the Korean Peninsula is creating subtle ripples within and without as the North is set to conduct a third nuclear test.

the bill requirs Secretary of state and Defense Secretary to submit a report on the feasibilityand logistics of redeploying nuclear weapons.

it's apparent that Republicans want to send a clear message that China should act decisively to make the North stop its nuclear weapons development. The NOrth conducted two undergrond nuclear tests and is reportedly preparing for a third..

the Obama administraions is clearly negative on the issue.., backing a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula. Though the bill passes the House, the Democrats-controlled Senae is certain to vote it down..

Korea-China free trade deal

active, carefull preparationsl needed

a gorup of farmer, fishermen and livestock raisers staged performances in front of the Ministry of Foreing Affairs and Trade builing in central  Seoul, condemning the offical start of free trade negotiations betwen Ckreoa and China.

Their protests may be a bad omen for the nation, which has already experienced serious national devision owing to the Korea-U.S. free treade agreement.
the trade will bring a far-reaching impact on Korea
If signed, korea would be the only Asian country to have free trade deals with the world's three largest economic blocs.

Hopes and concerns co-exist on the proposed deal. Proponents stress its inevitatility, citing the need for Korea's sustainable growth and development. More than anythign else, they claim, the pact is urgently needed to make faster forays into the world's second-largest market that rivals such as Taiwan that signed a landmark deal in 2010

The FTA would prompt Korean to gain wider market access to China thanks to lowered tariffs.Given the China's clout in the Korean economy, the pact will serva as a valuable occasion for Korea to leap forward. China is Korea's largest trading partner with exports to the world's most populous contyr accouting for one quarter of its total shipmetns.

could generate employment for ..숫자 people..

present Korea with though challenges
the agricultural sector is expected to be most vulnerable as cheap farm, fisheries and livestock products would flood the dometstic market.In contrast, China is sensitive to such manufacring industires as automobiles, machinery and chemicals

negotiations will proceed in two stages.

would have profound political implications in that it coudl develop into  a trilater deal
to secure more political leeway btween 미국 과 중국

At any rate, there is a long way to go before the pact is signed
they have to make a bold decision to end the talks if serious problems arise in the negotiations.

stopping North Korea

Only US can do so-if only it really wants to

The number on concern among regional experts these days if whether or when Pyongyang will conduct its third neclear test. We don't pretend to know bette than others,but like any other longtime watcher of North korea, can bet the reclsive regime will do so someday soon if not tomorrow.

the allies' increasingly frequent hints at the impending test of a nuclear bomb and its detonating devices by the North is actually indirect pressure on China to step up its efforts to dissuade its Stalinist ally from further provcation.

may be able to put if off for some time-several months at the most-not stop its troublesome protege for good. it cannot give Pyongyang what it ultimately wants-a normalized relationship with America.

a widespread consensus in Washignton is no one can, or should, expect the rougue regime on the northern half of the Koean peninsula to stop its nucleasr development programs and missile launches.Yet such defeatism and easy resignation ahve helped to expand the North's nuclear arsenal, whcih experts estimate to ahve moe than a dozen nuclear weapons or weapons-grade material for such

The North Korean regime can have no excuses for being bent on a nuclear buildup while letting its millios of citizens starve to death.
not once but twice
in working out closely-woven agreements that does not allow loopholes for North Koreans to slip through or just remained complacent with the political accomplishment..
nutritional aid

such scrupulosity ight have been possbile if

this is never to say which side is right or more right.THe North Korean leadership is inexcusable and unforgivable if for no other reason than ignoring its people's plight for the system's- or regime's-continuity.

The U.S could conduct a surgical strike as an eventual solutio, as it planned to do in 1994. If Washington instead takes up a solution through dialogue , it should do so far more efficiently-an earnestly.

Mad cow fuss is about lack of trust, not science

Thousands of candles will light the heart of Seaul tonight, as they did four years ago. Government officials say the rekindled protest agiantst the import of tainted U.S. beef is political instigation by opposition parties and leftist groups without scientific basis. True, there are elements of political football in the ongoing fuss about mad cow disease. Even so, President Lee Myung-bak and his aides have none but themselfves to blame, as they fisrt made political approaches to this issue.

Currently, a nine-member fact-finding mission is visiting the United States for what the government describes as an inspection but critics see as just a field trip. Given both the composition of the group-all but one of the nine members are present and former government officials- and the limitation of their activities thre- they can neither visit the farm in quesiton nor conduct a sample survey- the latter sounds more plausible.

The government also stresses it has drastically stepped up quarantine inspection of the U.S. beef, from 3 percent to 50 percnet of imports. Yet even quarantine officers say no amout of sensory inspectgion of cut bee can detect risks without observing cows' brains. One unidentified official, describing the whole act as a "show", confessed a sense of shame.

This administraion's political posturing reaims unchanged from four years ago,
bovine spongiform encephalopaty recurs IN aMERCA
only to escape the moment and with little intention of actually keeping it

All these lies, makeshift excuses and hiding of facts are aggravaging things far worse than they should be.
Most Koreans know a case of BSE in an aged dairy cow can hardly be any reason for national brouhaha.

Nor are Koreans more easily frightend or fanaticized than..눅누ㅜㄱ

sparked a national fury..
All it did was to one-sidedly notify the people of the outcome after all was finished
Without the belated national protest, the import conitions must have been far more disadvantageous to Korea.
to renew pressure to open wider the Korean beef market.

Lee's greatest failure as a leader is not setbacks in democracy, economy ro even national security but in respecting the people and being respected in return..
