[A-List] The Koreas, Joined

[Todd Boyle]

The Korean people don't want war.  They definitely are not into
killing each other.  Neither were the Vietnamese.  They definitely
had some forms of internal conflict but it was not the genocidal
war ("Total War") practiced by the West.   It's interesting to see
their degree of resilience and strength of will, after more than
a century of subjugation since at least 1907 conquest by Japan.

South Korea in particular doesn't mow down its protesters in
a hail of gunfire.  This is very cool.
It's a remarkable contrast with a lot of other countries
like Iraq for instance which seems to have come apart at the
seams.. let's just say, some cultures have differing degrees
of immunization against war, against war of particular forms.
IS that historical wisdom from past centuries and millennia of war?
Or something deeper in the spiritual heritage,
Todd
