What does it mean when US Post office recognizes Dokdo?
What does it mean when US Post office recognizes Dokdo? I have been fascinated by the beauty of Dokdo for many years: the rocks, the shapes, the colors, and the inherent splendor. As a teacher, I have led discussions on this topic in class and it always leads to a highly emotional conversation. Clearly, Koreans are sensitive about this issue, and with good reason. As it is we...

Preventing next war in Mideast
There have now been three wars between Gaza and Israel in the past six years. If nothing is done to stop the protagonist - the Islamic resistance army more commonly known as Hamas - then the only certain future for the area is that there will be another war in the not-so-distant future.

Running to extremes
With regard to an editorial titled "Thanks, World Cup," I saw how the World Cup brought changes to the Koreans that might seem meaningful. However, I could not neglect the traits of the people that this sports event revealed. It seems everything is running to extremes these days. The changes can easily be seen. This year, summer seemed to have come even earlier than before. S...

Unfair cartoon
I respectfully protest the cartoon you published on your opinion pages on July 24 depicting Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as an obstacle to peace. The cartoon was inaccurate, unfair and, arguably, anti-Semitic.

Why not women cabinet
I wouldn't ask for the formation of an all-female Cabinet but the current problem with the selection of Cabinet members would be solved by nominating female candidates. Why? We have a proud female president. Women nominees for any minister position, except for the defense minister perhaps, wouldn’t say, “Although I wanted to respond to allegations surrounding me, I have decid...

Cautioning against armed Japan
Regarding Japan's recent move to overturn its pacifist defense policy: Japan’s recent move to amend provisions of its postwar Constitution, which bans mobilization of its armed forces to settle disputes overseas is more alarming than it looks.

Shaking hands with China
On Oct. 19, 1950, at the peak of Korean War, Pyongyang fell to U.N. forces, and the two Koreas were just about to be unified under the jurisdiction of the U.N. and South Korea. On the same day, the People's Volunteer Army (PVA) crossed the Yalu River. The Chinese assault began at the eastern front of Heungnam. General Walker of the Eighth Army, U.S., was killed.

When child is born so are grandparents
Jane Han, reporting from New York for The Korea Times, now a happy and busy mother of twin girls, said in her Mom Spot column on June 21 that her grandparents, who came from Korea, treated her babies with complete lenience. And the young mother was concerned if grandma, in partnership with grandpa, would spoil her babies.

Double-faced government
I have become increasingly angry by what recently happened; two plainclothes policemen had dogged the bereaved families without any agreement until they were spotted. It appears that the authorities of the Korean police think that they are above the law and don't know that no one should be put under surveillance without due process of law. If not, how on earth could such an i...

Time to stop blaming government, crew
The whole country has blood on its hands and is responsible for the ferry disaster. People need to stop blaming the government and the Sewol crew and instead concentrate their efforts on eradicating the ills that plague Korean society: corruption, bribery, lax moral standards and reckless disregard for public safety, just to name a few.
