re:Are you talking about liberals, conservatives, or both? Seems to me that the entire Sunshine Policy revolves around greasing the skids toward reunification

Both in a way. Most everyone (in the South) dreams of re-unification, but when they begin to examine the costs - they suddenly realize it may not be such a great goal ( in the short term ). That perhaps two independant countries is good enough, until the North can be modernized via trade. Of course the Chaebol look forward to all the inexpensive labor the North could provide.


Look at the pain Germany has gone through reuniting with the former GDR, and West Germany and the GDR were much better off financially compared to South and North Korea respectively.

If SK were smart it would not push on the reunification idea........they've got to do a lot more work to do on their own economy and need to keep working on reducing the Chaebols' influence on commerce and finance. I don't think their economy could handle the impact of an impoverished NK.
