thanks for posting this---that there is a significant segment of the south korean population that despises the us is nothing new. it has been like this for years.
from what i remember, much has to do with the complexity of internal politics in south korea, which the american press has never felt the need to cover in any detail. if you look into it a bit, what is in the article comes as no surprise. however, once you start, you should probably keep at it--and i have not--whence the distanced tone of this paragraph.
