"South Korea’s Irresponsible Diplomacy With Japan"
Dr. Hornung's affiliations tell you why this essay was written. A man has to do his job(s). I cannot fault him for that.
However, one has to do one's job well. If one is going to pummel President Lee Myung-bak of South Korea, do not segue into the "Japan-has-apologized-enough-and-here-let-me-run-down-the-list" routine. Is there not a better way?
The other question is, with Jason Miks no longer at the helm at The Diplomat -- Miks having moved on to CNN -- who is letting this flotsam and jetsam over the transom?
