Re: Emperor Trump

I laughed my socks off reading Oh Young-jin's article Under Emperor Donald (Mar 9). "Humor" has the advantage in this case that the jokes don't have to be better than The Donald's own.

Why Koreans not welcomed in the Philippines?

I read the “Ugly Koreans” editorial on March 4 in The Korea Times with interest. I lived and worked in Korea for six years and I am now living in the Philippines.

Ugly Koreans

Blessings of longevity

The interesting article by Lee Sunho entitled "'Centennial Human Life'" published in your March 3 edition deserves to be scrutinized from the perspective of the United Nations (UN) and other international organizations dealing with ageing.

Re: US nuclear umbrella leaks

Your article was "spot-on!" From your explanation of MAD, to lessening of American interests in protecting ROK, to you final "aside" that north korea may actually be spending itself into it's own oblivion, your observations reflected what we call, in political science, a "Realist" theory of international relations. I am absolutely sure that this theory best explains the relationship between the US and the koreas. What is most worrisome about all this, is that America is a truly unreliable ally, and has little credibility as an international referee. It is nice to believe that America's inter...

Thank you, Korail

We would like to express our heartfelt appreciation and gratitude to the Korail staff at a train station near Nami Island for your efficiency and courteous assistance for helping me and my three children get back our backpack that my son had forgotten and left on the KTX train on Jan. 17.

Re: Defending Kim Jong-un

As the recent opinion article titled, “Defending Kim Jong-un,” written by Donald Kirk in The Korea Times may have caused some misunderstanding among readers of an article contributed by former U.S. Amb. Donald Gregg and published by the East Asia Foundation Policy Debate, this discussion platform would like to clarify the following:

Re: 'American mistake' editorial

One point that was a bit out of sync with the otherwise high tone of the piece was the specific mention of one current U.S. presidential candidate as a bogeyman for future troubles (and very early in that selection process as well!). The current U.S. President and his foreign policy team would seem a better target for today's issues. Following that, the most likely next U.S. President in fact oversaw a series of debacles in the Middle East and North Africa that show she learned nothing from the mistakes of George W. Bush other than that she lies more effectively. That is what I'd be worrying...

Regarding Gulf states' concern for refugees

We, the heads of missions of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf in Korea, would like to refer to the article 'Silent Gulf States' and the cartoon published in The Korea Times on Sept. 11, 2015.

Sex slaves, not comfort women

The name of a specific historical event should deliver a clear description of the incident; particularly in case of atrocities, readers or listeners must be able to indisputably identify victims and perpetrators. From the Greek holos and kaustos meaning "whole" and "burnt", the name "Holocaust" well demonstrates the gravity of the crime against humanity from the victims' perspective; everyone can thus effortlessly sympathize with its victims and reach consensus on whom to blame and how to deliver justice.

Amnesty International misguided

Denouncing the South Korean government's imprisonment of "conscientious objectors" to military service, Amnesty International has recently called for an immediate review of "alternative service" instead of uniformed conscription.
