'저는 그들의 땅을 지키기 위하여 싸웠던 인디안들의 이야기를 기억합니다. 백인들이 그들의 신성한 숲에 도로를 만들기 위하여 나무들을 잘랐습니다. 매일밤 인디안들이 나가서 백인들이 만든 그 길을 해체하면 그 다음 날 백인들이 와서 도로를 다시 짓곤 했습니다. 한동안 그 것이 반복되었습니다. 그러던 어느날, 숲에서 가장 큰 나무가 백인들이 일할 동안 그들 머리 위로 떨어져 말과 마차들을 파괴하고 그들 중 몇몇을 죽였습니다. 그러자 백인들은 떠났고 결코 다시 오지 않았습니다….' (브루스 개그논)

South Korea to strengthen ties with NATO
Published: March 11, 2009

SEOUL, March 11 (UPI) -- The South Korean Ministry of National Defense and NATO have announced plans to increase cooperation and open new channels of communication.

The ministry, working to improve ties with NATO, reported that it plans to "gradually increase" cooperation for ongoing security initiatives and take part in training programs offered by NATO.

South Korean defense officials, who recently sent a South Korean army colonel to the NATO Defense College for a six-month program, are following up on a 2008 National Defense Ministry white paper designed to establish new channels of dialogue with NATO.

"The (South Korean) government has decided to establish dialogue channels with the NATO and gradually increase its cooperation and exchange with NATO," the white paper said, according to the ministry.
