Talk:Roh Moo-hyun

Policy

I replaced the previous penultimate paragraph which seemed to me to lack a degree of objectivity.

The removed text was:

'As president, Roh continues the engagement policy or Sunshine policy towards North Korea started by the president before him, Kim Dae-Jung. Yet, his cabinet's recent attitude towards this policy seemed compromised due to geo-political situation of which has been highly escalated due to North Korea's nuclear programme. However, it is widely perceived that this government is not capable of tackling issues around. His support for US military forces in Korea, even after possible reunification, needs enduring scrutiny due to lack of confidence in his policy.'

Impeachment

Now that this article is featured in the "In the News" box on the Main Page, I've cleaned up the article vis-a-vis Roh's impeachment. One side note: he was impeached on March 12, not March 11. Although it was March 11 in the western hemisphere, it was Friday, March 12 in Korea. --Sewing 18:54, 12 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Just minor comments...

"His victory was a dramatic surprise, made possible by a last-minute betrayal by a political ally that backfired." -- In my opinion, this is an exaggeration and contains some--perhaps unconscious--bias of the writer. It was indeed one of factors that led to Roh's victory, but there were other more important reasons. I would like to change "made possible by" especially.

Notes on "Impeachment"-- It appearss to me that some people on this discussion board do not fully understand what the word 'impeachment' means. Roh, just like Bill Clinton of US, was 'impeached,' which means his power as the president was temporarily suspended and he was brought before the Supreme Court. However, he was not 'convicted,' which means the Court did not find him guilty. Thus, in strict definition, Roh's impeachment was not "illegal" or "failed," as this article says. It should say he was impeached but not convicted. --Hychu — Preceding comment added by 140.247.71.110 (talk) 25 June 2007 (UTC). Signature added by SUM1 (talk) 7 February 2020
