The president on Thursday told the National Unification Advisory Council, "There are two ways of dealing with North Korea's nuclear test -- sanctions and dialogue. Depending on what they think, some call for strong sanctions and others for dialogue. What is clear is that both are effective and that neither can be chosen alone."
In the UN Security Council, a consensus on the need for sanctions against North Korea is being formed to an extent that U.S. Ambassador to the UN John Bolton said it was the first time the council has been so near an agreement on sanctioning North Korea in the last decade. But the South Korean president talks like a current affairs commentator on TV: there�s a case for sanctions, there�s a case for dialogue. Still, what that means when the rest of the world is going for sanctions is that he favors dialogue. Unification Minister Lee Jong-seok, well aware of the president's mind, told the National Assembly Thursday, "North Korea is not a country that responds well when pressured and sanctioned."

On Monday, right after the North announced a nuclear test, the president said North Korea�s possession of nuclear weapons is �intolerable.� But without offering any specific plan for getting North Korea to give up its nuclear program, the president now mutters that some UN sanctions are unacceptable and puts conditions on others. Going a step further, the administration is said to have tentatively decided to continue package tours to Mt.Kumgang and business at the Kaesong Industrial Complex irrespective of a UN resolution. Koreans and the world are fed up with this administration's hypocrisy. It might as well say frankly, like the addlebrained so-called 386 Generation of former student activists who support it, that there is nothing wrong with a nuclear-armed North Korea because the bombs will be ours once unification comes.
