     Why don't you take examples from the entire Korean history?
     Do not confuse internal war and international war.

     Aha!  Now, you are changing.  You want to participate selectively
     like Clinton.  Will you name the wars or invasions you would have
     participated?  -- Mexico, WWI, WWII, Korean, Vietnam, Honduras, 
     Panama, Gulf,........ you name them.
     I don't like Republicans, but I don't like Clinton either.

     What do you know about Kwangju?  Who said people in Kwangju tried
     kill?  This is irrelevant here.  If you don't know well, stay away
     from it.  The judgment day is to come yet.

     Come on, Mr. Choi.  Again, we are talking about internation matters,
     not quarrels between brothers, not the Unions and the Confederates.

     You are right.  I didn't have to say this. 
     BTW, why do you call Korean-Americans "Koreans in the U.S."? 
     It is not supposed to be your attitude, isn't it?
     Do you call black-Americans Africans?  Stick to your philosophy.  
     They are all naturalized Americans like Washington and Kennedy.

     As I said, I do not blame you for your philosophy.  I meant you 
     have no right to accuse  Mr. Salas as liar or opportunist in any
     circumstances.  To me, Mr. Salas was a lot more natural and humane.
     And you seems to me more opportunistic (I don't say it's bad) by
     changing your idea completely.  I believe there are a lot of
     Korean-Americans like him.  If, I mean if, both of you were to be
     Korean citizen again, he wouldn't have to change his mind completely
     again.

     I don't think we need to talk this issue any more.  It really hurts
     some people emotionally.
