What's been going on since this article was published and Lee Myung-bak ascended the throne?

Is anyone up to date?

As far as I know, some projects were "paused" when the North reacted and started kicking a few SK officials out a month or so back.

Since then, the South has offered food aid, but the North has yet to respond (3 weeks later).

They're testing the new administration to see how tough they are.
LMB responds with offers of food aid. Back to the sunshine policy.

Mong bakk may yet degenerate into another Roh.

It's incredibly evil to have any economic contact with North Korea. All of the money sent there will be used to further enslave and oppress millions of people. The people who support such aid should be considered aiders and abettors of the murderers who rule DPRK.
