Not an official stance, but I'd be willing to bet there's enough new wave, world-cup united Koreans that think that way to make a little impression on the gov't.

I would bet all the money I have (which isn't much) that SK would want to be involved in the talks if NK wanted SK to be involved in the talks and then accuse the US of being unilateral if the US wanted one on one talks between the US and NK. What exactly does he mean by other nations should be "setting the mood"? Does he mean that the other countries should tell the US what they want to get out of the negotiations but not be a part of the negotiations? I am just shocked that SK would want the US to negotiate something for them without them being directly involved in the process. Under any other circumstance SK would fight tooth and nail to be part of any process concerning their interests (understandably so). I can only come up with 3 possibilities for this thinking strange way of thinking by DJ as well as the current administration 1) SK (DJ/Roh) is/are just the lackey(s) of NK 2) SK just wants the opposite of whatever the US wants. Or a type of the grass is always greener syndrome 3) SK actually feels that this issue does not concern them at all -as mentioned my the marmot.

If this is true, Noh is probably well aware of the situation and thus would rather keep quiet about it and not make things any worse.
