Sleeping with the fan on

I've talked to some Korean friends, and it seems as if the national feeling might swing a bit more pro-American after the beheading. Koreans honestly didn't believe that it would happen. I guess that people from Philly probably knew that it would, since the lost two of their own already.

I understand that many Koreans wrote in to their goverment and media websites and demanded that combat troops be sent to Iraq.

Koreans are a very tight-knit group. In Korean, you refer to aquaintances as "brother" or "sister." Very old people are "grandmother" or "grandfather."
