Refract

I didn't support going to war. I still think we went for the wrong reasons. But we're there. And we need to finish the job.

And I absolutely support South Korea's decision to send 3000 troops despite the beheading of Kim Sun-il. South Korea can't bow to violence the way Spain (seemingly) did. It's like training a dog. Even if you were going to give your dog your table scraps, if he begs, you can't give it to him; it will reinforce the idea that you can be manipulated. Likewise, even if South Korea was thinking of not sending troops after all, this new violence should absolutely cement the decision TO go.

And that's about all I have to say about that.
