To the editor:
I read with tears in my eyes about the combined Korean delegation at the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. As a Vietnamese refugee, I couldn't help but profoundly admire the peaceful way that the two Korean governments are treating reunification, even if only symbolically. ("Don't expect any diplomatic breakthroughs at the 'Peace Olympics,'" editorial, Feb. 9)
The fact that the athletes from the north and the south are using one new flag shows how mature the Koreans are on this issue. Furthermore, it was so appropriate that the organizers selected John Lennon's "Imagine" to be sung at the opening ceremony.
Meanwhile, facing such a movingly beautiful spectacle, Vice President Mike Pence remained sitting stone-faced, showing the inhumanity of a Trumpist politician.
