Treaties don't guarantee peace
One hundred years ago this Sunday - at 11 o'clock, on Nov. 11, 1918 - the guns fell silent across Europe. An armistice had been signed, ending World War I. In the title of Remarque's famous novel there was “All Quiet on the Western Front.”

This blood-soaked land
It's a lovely spot - even for dead men.

Persuasive charm of dictators
For those who prefer to see devils with horns, or who take a black-and-white view of humanity, it is problematic that the greatest mass murderer in modern times was, in many ways, a pleasant man.

Crazy rich Koreans
A filmic phenomenon is currently sweeping the American popular cultural space. Talk shows, newspaper columns and online chat are all a-buzz with hit rom-com, “Crazy Rich Asians.”

Some 550 Yemenis - hardly a threat to a nation of 50 million - fleeing their war-torn home seek refugee status on Jeju. Yet nationally, the mood is growing ugly. Politicians are discussing ways to prevent further refugees reaching these shores, and protesters are rallying under the banner “Our citizens first.”

Could Korea restore royal family?
An estimated 2 billion TV viewers worldwide watched events in Windsor, the U.K., last Saturday as soldiers marched, carriages rolled, women wore ridiculous hats and the dashing Prince Harry of Wales wedded the attractive American thespian, Meghan Markel.
