Ping!

Why are we back again to the stupid two party talks again? Oh, right, because they’ve learned that the US will give them stuff, where as South Korea will do it anyway without talks.

Got a better suggestion, cut off all the aid, let the dictatorship fall apart, and stand ready to help all those who will be starving before someone submits to reason.

This material has Roh Moo-hyun’s fingerprints all over it. With the elections coming up Roh’s competition can’t call him on it.

(Korea has an election law requiring, roughly, no “negative campaigning”. There is a National Election Commission, who are not pushovers, to enforce it. Roh is up for election and is in pretty deep doo-doo with this National Election Commission and Roh’s competition is running with this ball for all they are worth. Looks to me that Roh is pushing to see if he can get the Commission to put heat his potential opponents and their supporters.)

We should tell Crazy Kim, “If you won’t talk w/ south korea, fine. But we won’t talk with you either. We’ll go over your head and speak only with w/ China or Russia.” (like that’ll ever happen or do any good but it’d make me believe our State Dept. had cajones for once.)
