| We've decided to supply North Korea with building materials worth about W3.5 billion for the construction of a family reunion center equipped with video facilities. Among the expenses, we agreed to give Pyongyang about W400 million in cash,� a South Korean government official said Sunday |
About 400 thouand dollars for what, you may ask

| The reason, he said, is that some materials including LCD monitors needed for the video facilities are banned for export to North Korea under the U.S. Export Administration Regulations, which prohibit exports of goods containing more than 10 percent of American components or technology to states sponsoring terrorism |
400 000 for LCD monitors and other office equipment? Who does he think he is kidding anyway?
In unrelated, but VERY RELATED news

Lee: Koreas ready to talk of a summit next month
In about a month, the two Koreas may be able to start talking about holding a joint summit, said a top President Roh Moo-hyun adviser, who finished a four-day visit to North Korea on Saturday. |
So basically they are buying a second summit. 400 000 over the table, who knows how much under. With his approval ratings in single digits, his idea of changing the constitution a laughing stock, he may decide to go the way of DJ and buy himself a summit and a place in history as something other than the worst president in the history of the ROK.
How far will the desperate left go? |
