The continued division of the Korean peninsula is like a paper cut on East Asian geopolitical life — you forget about it and then suddenly you move your hand the wrong way and you realize, “Damn, that thing sucks.”
So, in its own twisted way, it makes me feel just a bit better to learn that other (much more important) people are also worried about how the whole DPRK-Has-The-Bomb-What-Are-We-Going-To-Do-About-It Issue will resolve itself.
Or, as saith The Nattering Nabobs of Negativism:
Sphere: Related ContentRoh, who is attending a U.N. summit, said he was optimistic the crisis could be resolved, but he said it still makes him nervous.
“Every time I think about the North Korean nuclear weapons issue, I always pray to God,” he said. “I ask you to do the same.”

Rho does not speak for Korean people any more. I do not know for whom he speaks.
“I ask you to do the same”…Wasn’t he saying that NK has right to own nuclear weapons to protect itself, in his last trip to the US?
Is he finally waking up to the fact that NK may use the weapon on SK? Even elementary school students knew that. However, the Uri party for long time insisted that NK nuke is good for Korea. These pro-North politicians added that when the unification comes NK nukes will be Korea’s nuke.
“Blood brothers”? “Blood bath”! More like mass destruction through A bombs. Kim DaeJoong started all by pumping money into NK, enabling them to further their nuke program. He handpicked Rho to continue his pro-Commie program, aka the Sunshine policy.
It is so funny that his government is all out to send more money into NK, in the form of Kumgang mountain tourism, Kaesung tourism, Kaesung industrial city and General relief of rice and medicine, so that these Commies can continue to develope nukes- bombs, warheads, small dirty bombs. And, he is worried about NK nuke, the consequence of his actions?
So funny.
Mr. President, why don’t just stop sending money to NK? Just say no. N..O..Is it so difficult? There are enough starving people in the South.
Condo said today,
“We’re not sitting still, you know, we’re working on anti-proliferation measures that help to protect us,” she said. “So we’re not wholly dependent on negotiations to get this done.”
She also hinted at freezing NK assets in the US. (Please hint freezing SK assets as well. That will send Rho packing.)
Go Girl! I am a red-blooded male and not a homo but I cannot think of other expression. Is she an American, or what! She is great. Go Girl!
I didn’t realize president Roh believed in the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I’m rather disappointed to hear that, we need more atheists in power.
I’m a little surprised also. I thought Communists didn’t believe in God, and here Roh says he prays to God? What a surprise.
Or maybe he just never thinks about it, and therefore never prays.
KrZ - you mean atheists like Kim Jong Il? I’m sure that would make things better.
Only if by theist you mean Abdullah bin Abdulaziz al-Saud
