Agnostics in Foxholes

The Chosun Ilbo thinks that by failing to speak out decisively against the MacArthur protests, Roh Moo-Hyun’s government is tacitly questioning the legitimacy of the Republic of Korea. I wouldn’t personally go quite that far, but its hesitancy to weigh in strongly on the rightness of the U.N. intervention–especially in the context of all of the interference it has run for Kim Jong Il–strikes me as conspicuously agnostic about how which system of government deserved, and therefore deserves, to prevail.
