South Korean beheading galvanizes the Koreans

From The Asian Times

If the terrorists who beheaded Kim Son-il thought that would force Korea, like Spain, to rethink its' deployment of troops to Iraq they are in for a surpirse. For, unlike Spain, the barbaric killing of one of South Korea's citizens has galvanized the nation behind the troop deployment.

The graphic dispatch of Kim Sun-il has caused a sea-change, however, and the same group that staunchly opposed the dispatch hours earlier are now demanding a military response. The home pages of the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade went down this morning, overwhelmed by the postings of outraged citizens.[...]

The execution has galvanized the people, pushing many into the deployment camp. Preliminary surveys indicate a 20+% jump in the number of respondents who now support the government's plans...

Seems Spain could use a lesson in backbone from the South Koreans.
