I live in South Korea and can’t even figure out how South Korea is responsible for North Korea’s consequential problems. South KOrea didn’t make the North’s decision of oppression and and violations of Human Rights. Take a deep look at the history. The last time Korea Enjoyed perfect peace is back when the Korean Alphabet was established. The South Koreans do not want to kill their fellow Koreans just like the West Germans did not want to Kill the East Germans. Putting Political pressure on the North will allow them to concede some of their strongholds that they may have. I think the USA has some very important negotiating to do. Bush could redeem himself in this one act of intelligence. Let’s see if he can pull this one off.. Korea wants to be unified. There is a great future for KOrea if they can take advantage of this opportunity.

Who ever suggested invading the North? Not me, that’s for sure.

Mouse over the pictures on top of the narrow columns and check the links. I advocate attacking the regime economically while subverting it politically.

Everyone looks at this problem as a regional problem, but it is not.
You are right S. Korea as alot of responsibilities to the North Korean people but it also has even a greater resposibility to those living in South Korea. What would you have S.Korea do? Invade the North! How would that help? It would almost kill over a million people in the south not to count the millions in the North.

Are people so ignorant that this problem is just between the South and North!

The world is compose of 2-3 major players, if they don’t act on then no one can. The best solution is a third party organise a hit and hide policy and take out the leadership of the North so that it can be filled with new leadership which could be aided by the South.

Words are nothing to the North! And they get what they want!
Bush said No money and Nukes not linked but it was!
With that kind of signal no wonder the north is doing what ever it wants!

What it is planted today will be reap tomorrow. Time will come that all the sufferings will change into bed of roses. And those enjoying will be sleeping on the thorns of roses. God is not sleeping. Do what you can and God will do the rest.

If China were not in blatant violation of a Refugee Convention is once signed, at least for those North Koreans fortunate enough to escape from the North, there would be safety.

I agree. But ultimately, these people are foreigners to China. They are citizens of Korea — and as long as South Korea claims the north, and as long as American lives are risked to defend that claim, Seoul cannot escape responsibility.

[...] OFK also posts a horrible story of how North Korea treats the refugees illegally repatriated from China. It is not an exaggeration to say China justifies its repatriation policy by comparing its Korean â€œproblemâ€ to our Mexican â€œproblemâ€ (i.e. they call them â€œeconomic migrantsâ€ or some such). Only, when we send border jumpers back to Mexico, they donâ€™t face starvation, torture, or execution for the crime of trying to feed their families (though we arenâ€™t especially sympathetic to their plight). China should be ashamed. [...]
