The result of the public polls (* translated from the part of the above poster)

Q: The cause of the Yeonpyeong-do provocation

-North Korean military build up from the [Kim Dae-Jung government’s] Sunshine policy : 39.4%
-Current [Lee Myung-Bak government’s hard-line policy on North Korea being driven to confrontation & tension phase: 51.3%

By the Korea Institute for Defense Analyses (KIDA), East Asia Institute, & Hankook Research on Nov. 27, 2010 (N=800)

Q: The solution for the tension in the West Sea would be:

- Settlement through dialogue: 56.8%
- Military power as priority: 35.0%

By the Social Trend Institute on Nov. 26, 2010 (N=1002)

..............................................................

According to the Korean statement by the SPARK, Nov. 30, 2010, that quoted the mention by the Yeonpyeong Island residents, they are demanding the conversion of the ROK government’s hard-line policy against North Korea to peace policy. The below is the translation of that quotation.

“Even though others say that the South Korea should chastise North Korea and spend more on the defense budget, they are saying that because they do not know our situation. What use of strong [military] response for the very Island residents who should go through things? Even only several years before, [* that was 2007] there was a plan to build the maritime freedom park in the Yeonpyeong-do to maintain peace in the five Islands of the West Sea (Yellow Sea), but with all those peace plans cancelled, such incident on [Nov. 23] eventually happened,”
