Regarding the Aug. 29 article "Despite Korean efforts, geographic conference backs Sea of Japan name": The Koreans need to get over it and move on. Hasn't the name "Sea of Japan" been in use for at least two centuries? It would be more intelligent to move on to more progressive issues, such as creating a Northeast Asia free-trade zone or forming something like the European Union with China and Japan.
The Europeans were able to get over things and move on, and they had been killing each other over a longer period time than the Koreans, Japanese and Chinese ever had. It's unfortunate that the Asian countries tend to get stuck in a negative groove and are unable to encourage and support one other. After all, they share the same DNA.
