The Sunshine Policy Is Dead, Part 2
South Korea has pretty much trashed its relations with the United States and Japan, and its netizens are waging two boundary disputes with the Chinese. It’s a good thing reunification is just around the corner:
South Koreans are more and more disenchanted with North Korea, with a growing number losing enthusiasm for unification and believing their Stalinist neighbor could start a war, a survey released on Friday said.
The poll by the daily JoongAng Ilbo was taken nearly two months after the reclusive North defied international warnings by test-firing missiles and amid widespread speculation it was planning to test an atomic bomb.
Some 57 percent of respondents said they thought it was possible North Korea would provoke a war, up 15 percentage points from a similar poll last year.
Just 12 percent thought unification with the North — from which the South has been separated for some 60 years — was an absolute necessity. The overall percentage of South Koreans who showed support for unification fell seven percentage points.
North Korea is now the second-most hated country in South Korea, after Japan. Does that make us number three? Why, I can hear them popping champagne corks at the Korea Society as we speak. Roh also fared very poorly.
Is it me or is Roh becoming South Korea’s own version of Jimmy Carter?
The road to reunification is long and hard, but it will be all worth it in the end.
Unfortunately, the Sunshine Policy has delayed it for ten years, at the cost of seven billion dollars and two million Korean lives.
there is no dealing with north korea it will have to be destroyed or they will destory you.
