Virtually, both in u. S. And abroad i would assume. Its a real pleasure to be back at csis. Ive seen more of victor in the last 12 months than at any other time in our 30 odd your friendship, which is good, which is good, which is good. And i am particularly delighted to cheer this session on the future of the u. S. Korea japan relations for a number of reasons. My late father was a diplomat told me, among many lessons that he told me, number one, if you choose your friends but not your neighbors. Well, i guess if you have tons of money you can choose your friends and your neighbors as well. But you cant choose her neighbors. Number two, he said, one of the things that he wanted to leave as a personal absolute professional legacy is that he did not want any of his children, myself and my two sisters, to have a legacy of faith on japan. He said we want you to remember history, to be proud that you are koreans, but you should not have any hatred in your heart. Because thats what happened
