I haven't read the link - I couldn't open it and I rarely go back. I assumed the link was to a news story. No, I wasn't American bashing, but pointing out that soojin had not made a personal statement, just provided a link and said he was sorrowful.

After reading a couple of the new links, I can only come to the conclusion that you are right, and that he is making a statement.

I don't for a minute believe that the soldiers deliberately ran the girls over. However, although I agree with the principle of diplomatic immunity (having travelled on a dip passport for a couple of years), I don't necessarily believe that soldiers who are not directly attached to a diplomatic mission should have it. Having said that, I suspect that justice, in this case, would not have been done in South Korea, so it's just as well that the soldiers got their hearing in an American court.
