Dear editor,

It is more than regrettable that Japan felt the need to react negatively to the flight over Dokdo, South Korea’s easternmost islets in the East Sea.

It is almost a declaration of war. Please lower the rates of Korean Air flights between Korea and Japan. A very big drop in prices for one month will bring the flag carrier more Japanese passengers than ever before and will be a slap in the face of Japan.

It is important that Korea begins mining the seabed under Dokdo to reaffirm that the islets are part of Korea. Place the Navy strategically around the islets and let Japan whine. They cannot retaliate any further because they really do not know what to do.

Ignore Japan and go ahead with scientific mission around Dokdo. Do not let Japan’s repeated claim slow you down. In time they will swallow their pride and recognize that they really can do nothing over the islets.
