Eric, from the article you posted: Did President Kim Dae-jung authorize Hyundai Merchant Marine (HMM)’s transfer of nearly $200 million to North Korea in payment for Pyongyang’s consent to holding the first-ever inter-Korean summit two years ago? First time I ever heard of this. That would be pretty damning if true. And there doesn't seem to be any indications otherwise. Tenchusatsu

Eric Re...The meetings are in one direction, the NK will not flee because they cannot get to the South. No one from the South wants to stay in the North except for a few delusional youth. < That isn't entirely true as the article I posted clearly shows that the amount of visitors to SK rose to 706 in 2000. While that is 1/10 of the amount who visited the North, it still is some. There were no North Koreans visiting the South in 1989 while by 2000 the number had grown to 706. Following the first-ever summit between the two Korean leaders in June 2000, North and South Korea signed a declaration of joint principles, agreed to re-link a train line, and planned to launch a new economic zone just north of the DMZ with South Korean financing. As far as the other part, the article on the transfer of money, would seem to confirm GW's position that Kim Dae Jungs sunshine policy was a sham. NK was just doing it for the money. So it could be that the opening up of the borders is also a sham. which means my prediction awhile ago that Sk would reunite under SK terms is also dogshit. Oh well, win some and lose some.
