RFP to others, not Dayuhan
Does it make sense to debate with someone who first asserts something strongly, then in face of historical evidence to the contrary plays the same down and finally proceeds to preventively declare all non-consenting evidence irrelevant for his other assertion?
It's kinda like debating with a priest about science.*

No one is talking about the elephant in the room
David and others,

I am mystified that no one is talking about the elephant in the room which is of course Korean Reunification.
this would fit many other topical threads where the exchange goes in completely unpredictable directions and prefers to take an understandably remote view, invariably from within the USA. Some threads raise issues that are uncomfortable, even if some "top brass" read SWC & SWJ that does not mean posting is protected. Even more so as national elections loom.
There is one SWC thread for example that has had a significant local "boots on the ground" input, where the USA has little knowledge. I refer to Kingjaja on the Nigeria thread.
Perhaps you can help by getting a Korean aboard to add their views?
