Peace?
Re: Dissident Professor Given Peace Prize
Professor Song Doo-yul, the recipient of the prize, is facing 15 years imprisonment for his dealing with the North Korean regime. In fact, he's a ranking member of the DPRK's politburo, perhaps the world's most repressive and militaristic regime. The article only begins to make sense when one reads that the "peace" prize in question, the Ahn Joong-guen Peace Prize, was "named in honor of an independence movement activist who assassinated the Japanese governor general of Korea in 1909." Most sickening of all is that this travesty was held at Seoul's Myeongdong Cathedral, the center of Korean Catholicism.
Why does the Left insist on debasing the word "peace"?

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
