We Are (Not) One!

Remember that summit spirit, back before the audits, resignations, and suicides? It produced some nifty slogans, but real life tends to me more complex.

The South Koreans may not be ready for reunification if this is how they treat North Koreans. From the author’s tone, I suspect plenty of South Koreans are ashamed. These early examples may forecast a very difficult reunification if South Korean swindlers and carpetbaggers, sensing an easy mark, flood into the North and confirm the worst aspersions of anti-capitalist propaganda. One wonders how financially unsophisticated but mentally tough northerners will react to that. An epic crime wave comes to mind.
