Korean lackeys of Uncle $am have made two bold moves to boost Korean public opinion for the united $tates. After the death of a second Korean hostage in the hands of the Taliban, the southern Korean lackey regime appealed to Uncle $am to pressure the Afghan lackey government to negotiate with the Taliban for Taliban prisoners.
The Islamic nationalist Taliban captured 23 Korean Christian missionaries in Afghanistan approximately two weeks ago. After failing to obtain a prisoner swap, the Taliban killed the missionary leader and one male hostage. A third hostage is due to die momentarily.(1) The Koreans claimed to be offering medical services, but a quarter of southern Koreans are the kind of Christians that would make for a crazy suburb like Waco, Texas.
Korean lackey Roh Moo Hyun indirectly indicated frustration with the united $tates and asked for "flexibility" in handling negotiations with the Taliban.(2) It were as if looking up to Heaven meant looking for Uncle $am in the sky, helicopters racing. So it is that the lackeys found themselves anguished but totally dependent on the Amerikkkans. This time it appears that the Amerikkkan gods cannot bail out the Koreans, and that is a good thing.
Korean anguish stems from a twisted colonial mentality. While there are 30,000 U.$. troops occupying southern Korea, southern Korea sends its own troops to Afghanistan and even Iraq to help Uncle $am--as sometimes before in Vietnam. Korean Christian missionaries imitate their Amerikkkan brethren as well. To predict what some of these southern Koreans would do, it would be better to think of them as the 51st state of the United $tates.
The second bold move by Korean lackeys of Uncle $am was to run to the House of Representatives for a resolution against Japan on "comfort women."(3) The resolution against Japan is a perfect proof how a colonial mentality can twist even a just cause.
While U.$. troops continue occupation of Korea today, with all the attendant prostitution and occasional culture-defined rapes, the Korean lackeys run to the U.S. House to raise yet again the "comfort women" of World War II against Japan. Comfort women were sex slaves taken by the Japanese military as it occupied Korea. The House passed the resolution July 31.(3)
The war crimes of Japan during World War II unite Chinese, Koreans and Filipinos against Japan imperialism. There was no other Asian imperialism, besides Japanese imperialism. Nonetheless, today, the southern Korean lackeys maneuver the comfort wimmin question in order to perfume U.$. imperialism, the principal enemy of the world's people.
The weak-kneed Korean lackeys justify their subservience to U.$. imperialism by pointing out how Japanese imperialism mortified the Korean people in the past. These lackeys prefer the Amerikans to the Japanese instead of thinking that the world's tenth greatest economy might be able to stand up.
The real agenda from the comfort wimmin issue is now admitted by some lackey Koreans:
"Now that the U.S. House has adopted an official stance on Japan's attempted distortions of history, the Korean community in the U.S. believes the international community will be empowered to take issue with Tokyo's moves to amend its peace constitution, its leaders' visit to the Yasukuni war shrine and its claims to Korea's Dokdo islets."MIM also agrees with these demands, but not via U.$. imperialism. If there is to be a popular movement with busloads of people taken to Washington, DC, it should be to demand U.$. troop withdrawal from Korea. Since U.$. forces are stretched thin in Iraq and Afghanistan, now is perfect timing for a successful movement.
We should also point out that making religious fundamentalism the principal contradiction would again be wrong in this case. The Taliban fighting with Korean Christians is actually a sad case of two colonized peoples fighting each other. We cannot say that the Taliban is more wrong just because it might be more fundamentalist in its outlook than the Korean hostages. That again would be to side with U.$. imperialism. Rather whether more or less religious than the Taliban, the Koreans are in the wrong, because they are serving as U.$. imperialist stooges. A patriotic Korean government might very well have forbidden Koreans from going to Afghanistan in the midst of its civil war. The modernization of a people's ideologies and religions is not served by standing in the way of its anti-colonial ambitions.
The examples of Korea and Puerto Rico (Boricua) show what can happen to colonized people who become too comfortable. Boricuans are more politically polarized than Amerikkkans and Koreans are even more polarized than Boricuans, but still the colonized are providing troops and other services to Uncle $am for use in other colonial contexts. Ending colonial occupation of Boricua and Korea is not just a matter of justice for those nations, but also a matter of draining the reserves of U.$. imperialism as it launches new attacks on Iraq, Afghanistan and the rest of the Third World.
