It appears that South Korea is willing, if that's what you want to call it, to compromise on their <a href="http://nowherethoughts.net/sarpysam/archives/2252-South-Koreas-Trade-Barrier.html">official/unofficial US beef Blockade</a>. Instead of combing through a whole shipment of beef to find the most minute piece of bone fragment imaginable so they can reject the shipment, they are now willing to comb through each box in a shipment for bone fragments so they can <a href="http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/S/SKOREA_US_BEEF?SITE=MTBIL&SECTION=BUSINESS&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT">send each box home individually</a> instead of by a whole shipment at a time. <br />n<br />nI guess the compromise here is that they are willing to spend a lot more time and money to reject our US beef than they used to. Real nice of them, isn't it?<br />n<br />n<strong>Compromise used to mean that half a loaf was better than no bread. Among modern statesmen it really seems to mean that half a loaf ;is better than a whole loaf. Gilbert K. Chesterton</strong>
This is a Compromise?
