There were much misunderstanding on my stance.
I believe the followings:
1) I am not condemning US so much, but believe US was established by the great Christian forefathers like Ben Franklin, John Quincy Adams, and so on.
2) US demonstrated the democracy better than any other contries in the world, I believe Abe Lincoln was a great Christian president.
3) I can point out one example, that the German POW captured in Stalingrad were 110,000 but only 5-6,000 returned alive, while all of the German POW captured by US or Canadians return home safely or enjoyed the better life even in the camps than theirs in Germany.
4) I believe that Kim, Ilsung was the very person who caused the extreme atrocities by provoking the Korean War, under the instigation by Stalin and Mao Tse Tung. He never apologized to Koreans until he died in 1994.
5) Kim, Jungil, the son of Kim Ilsung, is definitely responsible for the prisoner camps which imprison and torture many christians, and many other people over 100,000 even today. I believe that Sung Herim, his ex-wife was killed by him and her nephew Lee, Hanyoung was killed in SK by his agent.
6) I believe that we have to separate between Kim Jungil and the people of NK. Kim and his clique have pressed the people so much so far, and therefore we have to find out some way to cultivate the resistance among the people, in which I may differ from you.
7) I have noticed and believe that there are much misunderstanding about Korean issues among US people, some of which are:
- Pre-emptive attack may bring the quick solution ?
Some of you already agreed to the problems with this idea.
The reason why SK people don't accept this idea is because:
If US attack NK, NK will retaliated US bases inside SK. NK will bombard US army head quarters in downtown Seoul ( Yongsan), will attack 2nd infantry division in Tongduchon, NK will attack all the bases in SK, moreover, US-ROK Defense Treaty requires SK to be involved in the war with NK in case US bases are attacked by NK.
Koreans already experienced the tragedy of 4 million death during the Korean War and expect it would suffer more than 8 millions death if the war take place this time. They don't want to repeat it.
I already mentioned that such pre-emptive attack will not work even for Japan as they have a lot of weakness exposed to NK.
- SK is helping NK with money and aid too much?
SK is not helping NK more than 10 % of what West Germany did for East Germany, which is basically humanitarian aids.
- People of SK betray their benevolent supporter, US who sacrificed over 50,000 lives during Korean War by Anti-American Demonstration:
a) We must remember that those demonstration took place when US oppose the peace movement between NK and SK, or when US attempt the Pre-emptive attacks to NK, which will surely cause the causalties of millions of Korean people again.
b) Another important reason for such Anti-American sentiment is due to the crimes of US military forces in Korea, which are not reported in US by major media at all. This is why I illustrated the examples and strongly argued with you all here.
c) Another reason for such difference in viewing the Korean War is that the division of Korea by US had caused such tragedy and that many Koreans believe that even 50,000 USF would not have been killed if US had not divided Korea into 2 pieces at Yalta Conference Feb 1945
I can easily read US making many policies without having thorough understanding about the local background there.
I believe that Reunification of Koreas at the minimum expense is the target to pursue, then Korea can become Nuke-Free, Neutral country with free democracy and free capitalism.
For that purpose, Separation between Kim's clique and NK people is important, and Refugees from NK must be accepted by US. Only recently US started to accept the refugees who entered US consulate (in Shen Yang, Manchuria) only from this month. If US did so since 15 years ago, as SK and other countries did, NK would have changed quite a lot. When the NK refugees tried to enter the US consulates, US refused them for security reasons. This is very important because the most of NK people do not know about other countries, about SK, believing that their NK is still a paradise.
If US just followed the Geneva treaty as agreed, then NK will still have maintained the IAEA inspectors even today and had to retard or delay their Nuke program any way. In the meantime, neighbor countries could have worked quite a lot for the refugees and humanitarian problems, cultivating the dissidents or resistance there in NK, by now. But what did US have achieved since US declared the stoppage of supplying Diesel to NK and as a consequence NK expelled IAEA inspectors ?
Without the change of the NK people, we can hardly expect the better change of the NK regime.
8) I believe that Christians should have the political opinions different from politicians, as God sees the world and the history.
Do you believe the criminals of USFK were the Christians?
But I must tell you that those murderers were not christians. Read here:
15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. ( 1 John 3:15)
Those murderers are the non-Christians who refused the Gospels. ( even though we may not know they were converted later on)
Since when have you become the advocators for the non-believers, non-Christians?
I say again that we must view the whole things from God's point of view, from Christ's point of view, not from US or Japan or Korea which are eventually fragile all.
I pray my God every morning, that the Light of salvation should shine in NK and many people of NK have the chance of listening to the Gospel without starving, that the Christian believers inside the prisoner camps should be relieved from the torture and pains and have the freedom to believe in the Lord Jesus and serve God, and that there should be a big change in the ruling regime of NK either the change of the rulers or the change of the minds of the ruling people.
Therefore my view is based on my Christian belief.
How do you pray for NK before you utter your opinions here?
Do you pray "bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb North Korea" ? or "Attack North Korea" ? or May God kill the animal Kim ?
or do you utter just the same thoughts of the unbelieving politicians?
Let me know so that I may learn from you some useful teachings if any.
