So Much for the Death of Sunshine

No, I don’t think any objective observer can really claim that Sunshine bears any reasonable chance of success, and I think its rejection by Korean voters can only be more overwhelming than it was before the test. But rigor mortis has a strong grip on Kim Dae Jung, Roh, and company, meaning that God-only-knows-what. It’s really difficult to put much stock in what Korean politicians are saying about it, other than (1) they’re confused and inconsistent, and (2) they’re desperate to save a policy that probably can’t be saved without defying two U.N. resolutions and the U.S. Treasury Department, which can do them some hurt. Read and try to untangle.
