Don't Preach "Reckless Hate" Unless It's America

I have to wonder why the Hankyoreh was not preaching this advice back in 2002:

Information spreads over the Internet so fast it makes borders irrelevant. Talk among Koreans is no longer “our little secret.” There is nothing that can be done after talk that is emotional or uncontrolled is distorted or exaggerated and starts to spread. Korea is not an isolated island.

That is what makes the negative comments and other responses about this kidnapping all the more worrisome. Malicious comments not only push out the serious and thoughtful ones, but are also expressions of reckless hate. Most are expressions of hate towards Korean Christianity, but no small number of comments express hate towards the kidnappers. The people writing these malicious comments may enjoy relieving their pent up emotions, but hate spreads hate as if it were contagious. The vicious cycle of infectious hate eats away at people’s good disposition and makes the whole of society sick.

Korea was a sick and down right cancerous society in 2002 after the armored vehicle accident, and the Hankyoreh sure didn’t care about "negative comments" and "reckless hate" towards Americans then.  However, the Hanky doesn’t want this same "reckless hate" being directed toward the Taliban now?
