Timely opinion to me.

Why not Moving Forward as President Bush said while he was in office,

Not like those people digging in the Past, only past without talking about our Future.

I really regret we have to see and live under the same sky with that sort of people

And let me finish my long reply with introducing "The Power of Positive Thinking"

- to our young generation, if they visit this wonderful webpage.

I'm sorry that I mix my story with your opinion, Sir.

Merry X-MAS & Happy New Year!

PS;

Long Time, No See, sunbaenim.

I hope everything is all right with you.

When you come to Brooklyn, please, let me know.

But I don't know whether you heard Korean restaurant, 'KangSuh', closed for good.

We can find another one nearby though.

   In 1951, 48 allied nations including U.S. signed San Francisco treaty.

   Because Japan was defeated in World War II, she agreed to compensation

   for the damages done to cicilians and prisoners during the war.

   South and North Korea were not invited to the treaty.

   In 1965, because of the above, the treaty was signed between Japan and South

   Korea concerning the settlement problems in regard to property and claims.

   The economic cooperation was also signed. Total package was 800M dollars.

   By this agreement, problems in regard to property and claims between Japan

  and Korea have been settled completely and finnally.

   In 2014, South Korean Gov. announced that Japan agreed to pay 8.3 M dollars for

   comfort women and promised to apolosize for the crime. The apology never came,

   but the money.

   What the women who victimized want is not the money, but apology and admission

   of the crime. Japanese who will live after the generations must understand the crimes

   that their fathers and grandfathers committed. We should not go along with Abe's

   propaganda.

Korea/ South - Then & Now

- any difference?
