This is a very moving account and an awesome demonstration of Christian love. I only wish some in the Korean population weren't making some wrong conclusions from the tragedy.

Awesome, indeed -- and thank God for these people. I hope this kind of love in contagious, and that it spreads everywhere. God knows it's sorely needed.

Let's pray that this is covered in Iraq and throughout the entire Middle East. I can't help but believe that such a living example of the truth and peace of Christ will touch the hearts of many.

The film of the young man pleading for his life was heartbreaking. If we ever have peace it will because of people like this. May God bless them, and may Christ's message of peace touch the hearts of those bent on violence.

If I know Asian people, I think there's something more to it than this. So don't get all your praise up first.


Watch out for follow up. My worst guess is that the family is saying "I love Iraq" and stuff in order to discredit US.

"If I know asian people."

What an idiotic comment. Really. Nearly half the human race is composed of "asian people" and this guy knows 'em all, or at least knows what they're all thinking.

Thank you, Mark, for posting that link and for your comment about the power of hell. I have been suffering a spiritual malaise for the last few days, unable to get anything clear in my head about how to imitate Christ is this complex world. This article reminds me of the truth of Christ's victory, and your comment brings me to tears. Deo gratias. Rae

Yes. I know what most thinking. Since I have lived and am one of them.

Are you?

What happened to this man is horrible. I hope his family is OK. I also hope Korea does not waver on Iraq. Then, this poor man's death would've been in vain.

beng,

You get more ridiculous all the time. No, I'm not Asian. I'm Caucasian. But how preposterous would it be if I suggested that because I'm white I know what all white people are thinking? Whether you're Asian or not, it's absurd.

Everything being equal, who has more credibility in the matter?


I gave my assertion on the matter as someone who is Asian and lived with Asian. If you don't like it, suck it up. Don't be a dingbat by flaming stuoidly.
