Seriously though, I've read that Japan isn't even all that concerned with Dokdo - it's the islands that it disputes with China/Taiwan and Russia that of more concern to it, and appearing weak in regards to Dokdo might weaken its claims on the other islands.matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10296009437690229938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946845.post-32396473121264917392010-05-23T21:21:47.978+09:002010-05-23T21:21:47.978+09:00Why don't they both give agree to give it to A...Why don't they both give agree to give it to America so they can build an air force/army base on it?<br />Neither country like have Americans on their territory. <br />It would solve the Futenma problem nicely :)Jon Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15589729363368420598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946845.post-33242835911096240982010-05-18T12:39:13.630+09:002010-05-18T12:39:13.630+09:00Kushibo - I'm sure the villagers interviewed i...Kushibo - I'm sure the villagers interviewed in the documentary 미친시간 would consider it an 'invasion'; on the other hand, just using hyperbole (instead of regular bole) to make a point.<br /><br />The Central Scrutinizer:<br />AYes, Kushibo's Korea/Corea post is well worth reading.

Though some groups in Korea can be quite shrill about Tokto, the issue often gets more play in the K-blogs (in terms of prevalence and what portion of all stories they occupy) than they do on the average Korean's radar. <br /><br />The Central Scrutinzer, a quick Googling of "<a href="http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=korea+versus+corea&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8" rel="nofollow">Korea versus Corea</a>" should give you <a href="http://www.monster-island.net/2005/05/korea-versus-corea.html" rel="nofollow">a definitive answer</a>.kushibohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10306033998028548550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946845.post-66248874009267960282010-05-18T08:16:12.093+09:002010-05-18T08:16:12.093+09:00The Japanese didn't unilaterally change it fro...The Japanese didn't unilaterally change it from C to K.

Was the "K" really a dirty Jap trick to move the nation down in alphabetical order?

Actions calling for <a href="http://www.monster-island.net/2006/04/peace-loving-people.html" rel="nofollow">expressions of regret</a>, indeed, but an "invasion"?kushibohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10306033998028548550noreply@blogger.com
