Kaesong Update: Will a South Korean-proposed “Kaesong clause” kill the U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement? We can only hope so, although South Korea has already signalled that it’s not a deal-breaker (thus proving that they can sometimes be just as bad at negotiating with us as with the North Koreans). Why should we snatch the Axis of Evil from the jaws of death when it’s this intractible on nukes and human rights? As Uncle Vic says, “you wanna play, you gotta pay.”
