'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)

One of the conservative right wing newspaper, Dong-A, along with Chosun, and Joongang(Samsung’s) making claim that “If the weapon that attacked the ship was not South Korean, no other country but North Korea would have attacked the Cheonan,” writes on May 7, 2010 as below:

What is left after the sinking’s cause is determined is how the South Korean government and military will respond. Seoul is preparing multifaceted countermeasures with its foreign, defense and unification ministries. Also necessary is diplomatic responses such as referring the matter to the U.N. Security Council and other international organizations and consideration of a strong military response to punish North Korea through agreement and cooperation with the U.S. Quite a few military measures are possible such as armed protests in the air and sea, the resumption of broadcasting to North Korea, and blocking North Korean civilian vessels from passing the Jeju Strait. Diplomatic responses will prove effective when military measures that make the North feel threatened are taken simultaneously.

The People say the North Korea has used the public sea of the Jeju strait for more than 10 years. If the Jeju strait is blocked for the North Korean use, the North Korea economy will be strangled. Is there any relationship between the sunken Cheonan ship accident and Jeju strait in the mind of the
Ministry of the National Defense? Or is it the United States who wants to make connection of it? For whose interest is it? For whose profit is it?

  1. Here in Korea, nobody believes that the North Korea was involved in this accident. A U.S. atomic submarine must have collided with the Cheonam. There are lots of signs that support this scenario..... Our goverment is trying to hide and clean up the fact/evidence and it seems like they almost finished their job..
