South Korea to officially blame North Korea for Torpedo Attacks

During the course of the investigation, the Seoul government has made it pretty well known who they blame for attack and sinking of 'Cheonan.' It had added to the friction between the two governments and relations between Seoul and Beijing. As of tomorrow, the findings of the investigation are to be released. They will state that the South Korean government blames North Korea for the attack on Cheonan back on March 26th. How this affects my life as a teacher in Korea remains to be directly seen.

 Heh, I did it. What are you going to do about it?


I imagine that there will not be any immediate affect on my life. The two sides aren't likely to go to full scale war anytime soon. The investigation findings and repercussions are both likely to be turned over and left in the hands of the U.N. North Korea will likely have an excuse for the destruction of the ship. China will collaborate with and back up North Korea. The U.S. and U.N. will try to use all of this to continue Six Party talks. And by the time I leave Korea in September it will be the same Korea that I left it. The Korea, where everyone ignores the North and goes about their daily business in ignorance because that's the only way to live peaceably and sanely.

Just relax ...
