Ban Ki-moon: lost in translation?

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon's "quiet diplomacy" has drawn criticism in the Western press. Halfway through his five-year term, is the criticism of the UN chief justified, or is it a misunderstanding which can be put down to cultural differences?

@melissabaek ..sounds like a rant from someone who lives in their parents

basement. He's korean, he lived here for many years. He has eaten dog meat

before.

I live in Korea stupid.

[melissabaek]

@justgetsome What's the relevance of eating dogs to what he's doing in UN?

Where's your common sense? Besides, living in Korea doesn't support your

"GREAT OPINION". Get a freaking point. Go home and study more.

You sounds like one of those culturally ignorant person who don't have respect to others. FYI, I don't live in Korea and I don't judge people at least by where they come from.

@melissabaek ...oh he doesn't? He's Korean, Koreans eat dogs.

I live in Korea.

[melissabaek]

@justgetsome WTF man. Get a life.

[tmddus230]

I love him.

He'll do fine in the end.

It's very stupid to tackle their own culture, by the way

[justgetsome]

What do you expect, he eats dogs.
