Hi, everybody. I hope that the two Koreas can unify. I believe that unification could solve the problems that North Korea has with poverty and isolation from the world. I think it is time for South Korea to help their fellow countrymen. South Korea should extend all of the help they possibly can. Money, food, medicines and technological assistance is what North Korea needs now. South Korea, you are a wealthy nation. You are in the position to help bring about an end to the sabre-rattling. The rest of the world is not in the same situation you are in, right next-door. Please, forget the past and go on to a future of peace and co-operation with your near-neighbor.

It seems to me that it is the North Koreans who are sabre rattling. It is the North who do not want to engage with democratic nations. The South Koreans have tried to ease the tensions between the two sides, but are always rejected by the North, which always seeks to gain some advantage with its intransigence.
The North has chosen its path, let it walk along it until its shoes wear out.

On an unrelated side note - it was in the news today that Indians have gone out and become permanent residents in 180 out of 183 countries. Those three are Pakistan, North Korea and Bhutan.
