Tim, > South Korea does provide some aid, but I'm not so sure that removing it would qualify as "knocking sense in to" the north.

The way North Korea is shaping its propaganda, they are portraying themselves as the long lost brother to South Korea, and America as the big bully that continues to divide the two Koreas.

A few months ago, a South Korean official told the North, "Who in the South asked you to protect our safety? It would help our safety for the North not to fire missiles or develop a nuclear program."

Message 22620375

This was at a meeting between South and North Korean officials. North Korea promptly left the meeting after that and accused the South of disrupting negotiations, yada yada yada.

That's a start, but South Korea still does a lot to support the failing regime of the North. I don't know if they've already suspended shipments of rice or planned meetings of families divided by the 38th parallel. But as a matter of policy, South Korea could abandon its "sunshine policy" and put North Korea into total isolation. I don't expect that to happen, but if it did, that would send a very strong message to the North that South Korea is tired of this bullshit.
