Quick Quotes on DPRK-ROK Relations
Here's a game that will keep some of us occupied for days: just who said what in this poll of elite opinions on the Koreas? My favorite question and response:
Would stronger political and economic ties between the two countries advance US interests? 11% NO
«Absent the North Korean threat, the South Koreans will lose remaining inhibitions about the US. As it is, monstrous ingratitude is the societally approved stance towards the U.S.—understandable given the prevalence of grandmothers who serviced G.I.s , but still...»
«If North Korea is playing around on the nuclear issue, then South Korea's cozying up is real bad news. If, against all odds, North Korea goes non-nuclear and quasi-decent, then South Korea's cooperative attitude is fine. But let's not count on that.»
Probably the same guys who doubted even that the two Koreas would normalize relations within the next five years. But, enough quotes to mine for the year ahead.
