President Lee Myung-bak must have been embarrassed by the flareup of the Dokdo issue. Japan effectively kicked away the hand of goodwill he had extended to it upon his inauguration. Severe criticism at home,hogan, meanwhile, can only embarrass the chief executive further.
Rumors have long circulated on the Internet that Lee sold Dokdo out. Now the Japanese government has announced new teaching guidelines for middle school teachers effectively stating Tokyo's territorial claim to Dokdo, the rumors are gaining ground in public. The opposition parties, while criticizing Japan,louboutin, are shifting the stress to holding Lee accountable. They accuse him of treading too softly and humiliating Korea in his diplomacy and even call for his impeachment.
Lee proposed a "future-oriented" relationship without much of a clear view of Japan,hollister uk, only to be stabbed in the back,polo ralph lauren, the opposition contends. Members of the main opposition Democratic Party at a conference said it was because Lee,louboutin pas cher, during his visit to Japan,air jordan pas cher, took a conciliatory attitude calling for the past to be forgotten and suggesting that Korea has already forgiven Japan, that his government is openly ignored there. By stressing the future, they said,louboutin pas cher, he invited Japan's renewed territorial posturing over Dokdo.
But we should review the situation cool-headedly. From the early days of his tenure,louboutin, Lee sent Japan a message of forgetting the wounds of the past and moving forward to the future. He promised his government will no longer ask Japan to apologize. If we take issue with such remarks,louboutin, Korea-Japan relations can have no future. No president will find it easy to call for a forward-looking relationship again. Once we accept the logic that Lee's emphasis on the future emboldened Japan over the Dokdo issue,hollister, the term "future" must become a taboo in bilateral relations.
In fact, Lee did not act any differently from his predecessors. Every president has agonized over our relations with Japan in his early days and initially called for a "future-oriented�� relationship: Kim Young-sam, who threatened to "correct Japan's bad manners," and Roh Moo-hyun, who declared a "diplomatic war," both in the early years of their tenure offered to let bygones be bygones. What is to be condemned is Japan's insistence on frustrating such attempts; the emphasis on the future cannot be faulted.
By repaying Korea's offer to look forward with blasts from the past, Japan proved once again that it is unfit to be a leading power in Asia and the world. It is often said Japan keeps raising the Dokdo issue in a bid to turn the islets into disputed territory and eventually refer it to the International Court of Justice. But that is impossible: whether it is the ICJ or a temporary arbitration panel, the consent of both parties is needed. And since Korea has no reason to agree,ralph lauren, it is doubtful if Japan will ever gain any actual benefit by harping on about Dokdo.
The past has a habit of catching up with Korea-Japan relations. Korean presidents offer to sweep away the past but find themselves resorting to strong language in the end, usually to no avail, in reaction to Japan's little provocations, which are soon forgotten. What President Lee should be criticized for is not that he stressed the future, but that his administration,louboutin, which promised a new paradigm in our relations with Japan, is repeating the pattern.
