Koreans Demand Embargo of American Beef 한국인이 미국산 쇠고기 수요가 출항
I made the following comment at the Seoul Times site.
10,000 people protesting the lifted embargo on American beef? People have a responsiblity to be discriminating buyers – it isn’t a proper function of government to interfere with international trade! Korean citizens can make the decision not to eat American beef on an individual basis and patronize establishments that use the beef of their choice. Calling on the government for another embargo is irresponsible and lazy. People were shouting ‘Down with the dictator!’ (with reference to the new president) at this protest – does anyone else see the irony in this situation?
