The South Koreans have changed their minds

According to The Ramblings and Musings of Edward Yee, the murder of Kim Sun-il has turned South Korean public opinion on its head- from overwhelmingly opposed to sending the troops the bad guys killed Kim to keep out, to overwhelmingly opposed to letting the bad guys live.

One comment seems to sum up popular opinion over there in the wake of Kim's death: "If South Korea cannot fight terrorism, we are not a civilized country."
