That typo was confined to one post which has been corrected.
Japan Observer is just a regional expert, who, like all regional experts, gets magnificently pissed when "outsiders" horn in on his territory.
The refrain, "it's so much more complex than you can possibly imagine" is just the regional expert's demand that we respect his lifetime pursuit of vertical knowledge.
Should Japan Observer feel so threatened by attempts to horizontally link this process to a wider world? No. But that is the nature of vertical expertise. It is guarded with great vigilance.
After all, it's this guy's career.
In the link "DoD Directive 3000 put in the context of Iraq." I'm actually linking to the post below it titled "Viral in-coring: Seoul to Beijing." For some reason it does not have its own stand alone link, so linking to DOD Directive 3000 was the best I could do. The post focused on this article from the Times "A Rising Korean Wave: If Seoul Sells It, China Craves It," by Norimitsu Onishi, New York Times, 3 January 2005, pulled from the web."
