Disgusting. Kim Dae Jung says we should bend over yet again for the NK government, the most oppressive regime in the world. Perhaps we should give NK 500 million dollars more to bribe a Korean into earning another Nobel Peace Prize. God, I hate him for doing his level-best to legitimize the atrocities North Korea has perpetrated and still perpetrates.

One of the main problems with many folks of the Uri party is that they rely too much on appeasement. What does NK want? They want to "liberate" South Korea by unifying the peninsula under the iron fisted magnanimity and benevolence of Dear Leader. Nothing less. I've talked to some university students who actually (I kid you not) don't think that life under KJI will be too bad, so long as Korea is united as one again. It makes me think (and shudder if true) just how widespread is this mode of thinking?

It should be pointed out that Kim did not say that South Korea should always do every single thing that North Korea demands, now and till the end of time. The phrase "all that North Korea wants" was referring specifically to the conditions that North Korea has laid out for disarming.

And he further recommended that if North Korea does not reciprocate, sanctions should be imposed.

Members of the six-party talks should do all that North Korea wants,� Kim said at the National Press Club in downtown Washington, �and if North Korea still refuses to give up its nuclear development, then we should impose sanctions.�

Jinju, you highlighted the wrong part. I fixed it for you.

Lee Myeong Bak can not prosecute them. He is just as guilty. He's already been found guilty of land tax fraud. Just wait. More things will come out if he opens Pandora's Box.

The even funnier part is the widespread knowledge of Lee's corruption, yet he's still going to be elected president. I guess lack of a better option contributed to that.

So what do they want?

If they want us to build the ma Disneyland I say yes?

If they want some food and Medicine I say yes?

What do they want?

Too many are willing to say no before they actually hear the answer.

What do they want?

OTOH: ha! Good description of the Communist principles of Dear Leader: "Workers of the world...you have nothing to lose but your booze & porn!" Is that how it went?

But I agree. Kim has everything to lose with an assault on the South. Let's not forget also that although few in the South might say it publicly, the general feeling is that unification by a collapse of the NK regime is something to be wary of...if not downright terrifying. The post-1990 German experience has put a sobering perspective on the prospect of re-unification.
