Perish the thought.

Of course, the fact that they do this pretty much every election cycle doesn't do much for their already non-existant credibility.

Hmm, I guess I was wrong. From hearing S Korea’s recent unification ministers, I just assumed all unification ministers (North and South) were supposed to be the bend-over type.

I'd hope that those countries responsible for the split of the country, Japan, China, and Russia, take a lead role in this effort. It worked in China, Vietnam and Germany, it CAN work in Korea too. At the very least, Korean men wouldn't have to go outside of Korea to find wives anylonger. Hahaha, an official Korean gov't warning NOT to marry Korean men. :P But seriously, those people that are now very elderly deserve to see their relatives before they pass on, or at least mourn their deaths by visiting their gravesites. After all it's not their fault Korea's geography lands them in the middle of most Asian conflicts/wars. --Remort I’d really love to see North Korea get serious about reunification.

Who in their right mind would want to take a chance that the scumbags wouldn't just slam the door shut at any moment? Again, for all the money and goodies Roh and his cronies have given the fat dwarf, what have they gained besides a handful of family reunions? These guys are probably about the most untrustworthy bunch of any country in the world, so I can't see them turning things around any time soon and going the China route.
