atimes.com<\/a> en date du 7 juillet :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00ab The launch of the North Korean missiles hardly fazed South Koreans, who saw the whole show as just another one of those gestures that may make headlines for a few days but bear little relevance to daily life on the streets of Seoul. We’re worried but not that worried, one South Korean told Asia Times Online. If South Korea were still in the World Cup, this wouldn’t even be the top news.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb Under the circumstances, South Korean leaders would just as soon avoid taking sides in the great debate in the United Nations on sanctions against North Korea. Why exacerbate tensions, South Korean officials reason, by supporting sanctions while China and Russia are sure to veto them, turning debate in the UN into another meaningless war of words?<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb In fact, it may come as a shock to Americans, but many South Koreans would be likely to defend North Korea’s right to test-fire missiles and even to have nuclear warheads if needed for \u00a0\u00bbdefense\u00a0\u00bb against the Japanese. Japan’s Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi has regularly antagonized Chinese and Koreans by visits to the Yasukuni Shrine honoring Japan’s war dead, including war criminals responsible for conquering much of the rest of Asia and plunging Japan into World War II.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb Memories of Japanese colonial cruelty are deeply implanted in the collective psyche of Koreans, North and South, as well as Chinese.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tEnvisageant l’hypoth\u00e8se extr\u00eame d’une attaque am\u00e9ricano-japonaise contre les bases de lancement de missiles nord-cor\u00e9ennes, Kirk estime \u00e9galement que la r\u00e9action sud-cor\u00e9enne sera une surprise d\u00e9sagr\u00e9able pour les Occidentaux:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t\u00ab Here too, however, North Korea may count on another weapon that of public opinion in South Korea. While North Korean missiles are of little real concern in Seoul, attack by the US and Japan on North Korean bases would risk massive protests in the South, rendering US bases there either useless or untenable. Kim, in such an event, would have succeeded in his goal of the destruction of the US-South Korean alliance.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
