Of course he'll give in. For a few months, anyway. This thing is going to drag on as long as he breathes.

Only way Korea will EVER be united is if:

1) Mr. Kim dies and no strong leader replaces him.

2) Things get so bad that people revolt.

Otherwise, all this talk of peace and such is just pandering to a certifiable nut. Kim Jong Il will only compromise so long as he needs to. Once he's in a favorable position, or gets what he wants, he's a tough guy again.

Reunification will only happen if the South adopts the North's system. Lil Kim and the rest of his crew live great lives because of that system. I am sure they will not be willing to give up their high life without a fight.

Seriously though, it isn't going to happen. The North is 40 years behind just in infrastructure alone. Forget about different world views, economic systems and lives of the citizens of each country. The South will have to start building infrastructure, power plants, schools that only partially brainwash the Norks, and a whole lot more if there is to be a successful reunification. If the North and South half-ass the reunification plan it will have serious economic/political ramifications.

The war may end just in time for a new one to start.

The first thing hit will be taxpayers. Expect a huge hike.

Then a lot of foreign investment will be hit. Property values will tumble.

I guess if you own a lot of land or Korean won, it's best to get rid of it before it happens.

Yeah, it will be a nightmare. The North and South really need to develop a 50 year plan for reunification. They need to lay out specific steps and things that need to be accomplished. Can you imagine them trying to do this?? It took them 2 weeks to set an schedule for this summit and then they couldn't even stick by it. Reunification will be the ultimate gongshow.

This recent annoucement like all previous "announcements" is yet another half-ass attempt from both sides to capture their "15 minutes." I mean really folks, was reunification ever an issue as it relates to G8 members?

NK has no real 'value' to the global community in terms of natural resources. As the living byproducts of the Korean War gradually disappear the mystique of the 38th parallel, much like the 'mystique' of royal jelly' will become yet another national commodity.

Phew!

Well the south doesnt want it, and the north Really doesn't want it so im guessing reunification will ONLY happen if there is a bloody revolt in the NK.

I watched that documentary "crossing the line" about the Americans that defected to the North. Anybody else ever think of joining the Glorious Democratic peoples Republic of korea?
