| South Korean Medical Teams Stop Treating Iraqis |
| 2004-06-21 |
| Doctors with the South Korean military contingent in Iraq have stopped treating Iraqis since the kidnapping of one of their compatriots. A Defense Ministry spokesman in Seoul says they stopped for safety concerns, but an Iraqi interpreter for the South Koreans told the French News Agency the doctors are refusing to treat the Iraqis to protest Kim Sun-il’s kidnapping in Fallujah last Thursday. South Korea currently has a 600-member contingent, mostly engineers and medics, stationed in the southern Iraqi city of Nasiriyah. |

| #7 The same people who kidnapped their compatriot are the same people who on a daily basis kidnap, kill, or maim Iraqis. I'm afraid I agree with Verlaine. They need to direct their anger in a more appropriate manner. |

| #6 Perhaps the Iraqi people will begin to understand the cost of having fellow countrymen kidnap and murder those who shed blood liberating them. PS: Perfect image, Yosemite Sam. |

| #5 I remember the ROK Marines were some of the baddest ass soldiers in Vietnam. Apparantly distance from the Korean war has made the political leadership and population soft. |

| #4 Howz about, instead of boycotting the little kids with dysentery and the pregnant women having complicated labors, the Koreans, uh, you know, DID SOMETHING to respond to the barbaric mistreatment of their national? I mean, they have MILITARY FORCES there, right? How about announcing that the Korean component of the multinational division, including the troops soon to arrive, will henceforth seek active offensive duties in Iraq (this may be hard to arrange, but it's worth looking at), not just humanitarian and other duties in the quiet south? Just an idea. |
