While most reasonable people agree that a country has the right to fight terrorism and the right to search aid boats for bombs and weapons, everyone also agrees that excessive force is unnecessary. What is also in evidence is that if the aid workers want to be taken seriously then they have to not provide resistance against Israel when they run a military blockade. It's suicide by bullets.
This week the mostly Turkish aid workers used more wisdom and chose to be calm and cooperative when boarded. This time the situation did not get out of hand with both sides making a better effort. And the biggest winners were the starving people in Palestine suffering from the Israeli blockade. It was a good week.
North Korea continues to be as weird as ever, declaring war with this country and that. Whether another war blows up between South Korea and North Korea remains to be seen. The good news is that South Korea has built up a million man army over the decades America has been there keeping the peace. There is no longer a reason for America's 38,000 troops to remain in South Korea. They have stood up their army and can take care of themselves.
