Granted, I think they *DO* resent the need for our help (if there really is a need for that anymore, which I question), but that goes to the Korean nationalism Boshko was talking about earlier.

They are actually quite schizoid about thier relationship toward the US. On the one hand they claim to hate us and view us as a bigger threat to peace than the DPRK but the also raised a big stink when we shifted some of our forces away from the DMZ. It's all rather confusing and annoying.

The point of my post and Ned's reply was how most of the media try their very best to report on his presidency in the most negative and non-flattering way imaginable.

You have it the wrong way around. The media just can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

Agathon, we have one think in common it seems. Complete disdain for the integrity and intelligence of the opposition.

Yes, but I do it with more panache.

I wag my finger at you!

Yes, it is. It's telling that just about everywhere you go in the world, the people are overwhelmingly anti-Bush.

...

Whereas neither is true. Bush has generated a lot of hatred. On the other hand, some of the hatred currently directed at him/us is latent anti-Americanism that goes back a long ways before Bush. There is fault on both sides of the international divide.

Never were truer words spoken than in the second part. That might make you question the reason for the first part.
