I think Chun and his followers will make a certain political movement
to recover their lost political background, whether Chun himself wants
or not. Transition period like these days is a best time to lauch such
a movement. Personally I don't want him to come back to korean politics,
though. I wish he had repented his wrongdoings enough, while he was
staying at a Buddhist temple.
I haven't seen him for a few years. When I saw him on TV last time,
he said, "I'll 'certainly' take care of those few bastards, although I
can put up with most (of those who ostracized me)."
I wonder if he now took care of those guys whom he mentioned before.
If he did, how did he take care of them? mafia-type revenge? :-)
(Who are those guys, anyway??? Does anyone know?).

Subject: Readings on Korea for a university course
Date: 11 Nov 92 23:31:59 GMT
Organization: Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, N.J.


The East Asian Department of Rutgers University (New Jersey) is
putting a lot of effort to start and enrich the Korean curriculum.
One of the things I volunteer to do is to compile a reading
list for undergraduate students--books and articles written or
have been translated into English, appropriate for introductory
courses on Korean history, society, culture, literature, language
structure, politics, economy ...

I am turning to the wisdom of this news group for help.  Could
you suggests books and article to us?  Your assessment on the
strenth and weakness of the book will be very useful.
I will also appreciate reading lists from introductory courses
taught in the U. S. on the university level
on varies aspects of Korea (literature, culture, history, religion ...)

Please email to me, I will post a summary if you are interested
in the result.

As a non-Korean, but someone with close ties to the country, I've always
had very mixed feelings about the man too.  That he was a very intelligent
man, who did great things for the republic economically, can't be denied. 
But does this outweigh his authoritarianism and the ongoing (esp. after the
Yushin constitution) repression of human rights?  I guess only history will
be the judge.  Not having any close friends who were tortured, etc. during
his regime makes it easier for me to remain objective, but to even be able
to include a statement like that is pretty damn disturbing to me.  I
certainly have more respect for him than I do for Chun Doo Hwan, but...At
what point do the ends justify the means?...

You mean "Bog-Duk-Bang"?
I guess so.
You know, Mrs. Chun (Lee Soon-Ja) used to be expert in real estate 
business.
Her nick name was "Dwae-Jee-Um-Ma" meaning 'Mother of a Pig'.
Anyway, good!

I think Korean prosecutors are trying to produce new jobs.
Their "Gong-An" business ('public security', almost anti-communist business) 
is shrinking.
So, I understand it.

  You are quite right that President Park Jung Hee became presedent
  by overthrowing civilian government.  And it may be continued to 
  President Chun.
    However, you must consider how it is possible for you and us live
  like now.
  If President Park's economic and defense miracle didn't happen,
  you(we) wouldn't even be able to live like now, and talking like 
  this wouldn't be possible.  If I have chioce to live like in 60's
  of Kore with no dictatorship, and living like in 80-90's of Korea 
  with some exprience of dictaorship, I would choose latter one.
  It's been historically proven that people try to criticize more on the
  dark side of someone's achivement even though they live in and have taking
  great advantage of one's bright side of achivement.
    I am not saying President Park was abolutely right man, but he was 
  one of the most repectalbe men of Korean history.

OK, I'd better explain my situation and ask for help.   This funny friend
of mine borrowed about $500 from me when I was in Korea several years ago.
Now, he says that he will pay back what he owes (Can I trust him this time?
That's another question).   Can he simply go to a bank, and send $500- without
all those documents?   Does he have to send to my bank account?

	You may be right; we may have had unified Korea or some colony
	built on the moon.

	As I posted before, no one knows what would happen; it might just
	have been the current of that period that Korea progressed but I'm
	not quite sure Korea made the most out of it under Park's regime
	concerning the astronomical amount of money vapored.

	If I really have to list the reason, I would list the man-power (or
	average level of education) of Korea to the top of the list and
	the Vietnam War (any one care to explain where did the money disappear
	gotten for the lives of Korean soldiers).

One thing I never really understood was why in the world people compare
what would have happened without Park Jung Hee with what actually
happened during his power.

No one can change the past and there are no second chances.  Evaluate
history for what happened but not what could have happened.  I am not
however saying that results justify the means.  Park Jung Hee did
intervene with a democratic government with military might.  I am no
great fan of military coups either.  But let's evaluate what happened
and not what could have happened.

	Thanks a lot.  That was actually more than what I was asking, but
I'm sure the others who read this who don't know about Korean politics as
much benefited from your article.  (All I wanted was just a list of names,
not their resumes because I know them already, but thanks.)

	New Korea Party brings an interesting twist to the Korean politics.
With the withdrawals of Park Cheol Un, Park Tae Joon and Lee Jong Chan, the
old Min-Jung faction has basically disappeared from DLP.  How ironic, that
Roh and Park Cheol Un sought to gain a simple majority in the Parliament by
absorbing YS and JP, but now it seems that it is actually the other way
around.  YS and JP absorbed Roh and more dovish members of the Min-Jung
faction.  It's too bad that JC got bundled together with Park Cheol Un, 
I actually liked him.  Oh well, so who the heck should I vote for when
I go back home in about a month?  Picard and Riker seem to be a very good
choice.  :)
