I'm Caucasian, not Korean, but I felt the same things - though perhaps not as sharply as you did? Anyhow I was very uncomfortable with what he was saying (and the rambunctious applause it elicited). Though it was not the explicit content of his message, the ethos was one of America-as-savior-of-the-world. Like you, I don't want to neglect the important role of government to implement societal good. But it is just that: societal. Not eternal. To solve sin with a political solution is to solve cancer with a band-aid. We need bandaids!--but cancer will kill us.
