JF, good article, however, I disagree with the part about how easy it will be for the South if North Korea collapses. Neither the $1.7 trillion figure that the ostriches in Seoul cite nor the $1 billion figure that Jasper Becker cites are reasonable. My WAG is about $20 billion a year, even after all of the international help such as UNICEF and the World Bank. It will pay off in the long run, to be sure, but it's going to be a rough transition.

Why should we dance at all? Korean War ended in 1952. The problem of North Korea is for the Korean people and that means South Korea. And the problem is for the neeighbors- China- Japan. I would leave the mess alone and tell them Good Luck and we would be happy to attend a meeting as an observor but it is there problem to solve and their aid to give. We can spend our money on Missle defense.
