'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)

“The conditions demanded by the IMF during the Asian financial crisis were very painful for Asian countries. They may have been more painful than necessary.”

During a conference held in South Korea, the IMF admitted it made mistakes in the rescue program it demanded of South Korea during the financial crisis. It also unleashed a sort of “love offensive” on Asia, which is becoming a major axis of the world economy, saying it wants the fund to become a “second home” for Asia.
