Liberals in S. Korea Win Big - people ticked at Rohâs impeachment
EFL - from Washington PostIn their sharpest shift to the political left in four decades, South Korean voters on Thursday appeared to hand an overwhelming victory in legislative elections to the Uri Party, whose leadership advocates rapprochement with North Korea and greater independence from Seoulâs traditional ally, the United States.... Todayâs elections were largely seen as a referendum on the surprise impeachment of Roh last month -- an act applauded by South Koreans who still harbor memories of the Korean War, but seen by younger voters, who make up almost half the electorate... [Iâve read that these people have been spoon fed anti American propaganda in their high school and college text books] as a political coup against Rohâs more liberal approach on North Korea, the U.S.- South Korean alliance and economic policy. [perhaps approving a dictator while he starves and tortures millions of people qualifies a person as a liberal these days] Posted by: mhw 2004-04-16 |
