S. Korea's younger generation is so obsessed with provting that the older generation is bad that it is totally blind to the monumental evil across DMZ.

There's really no excuse for that warped perception -- at least not one that history will suffer anyway....

Mr. Cho brings up some great themes: 1)The true modern day heroics of those trying to assist the NK's in escaping and the laughable comparison with the spoiled idiot brats of Hanchongnyon; 2)The lack of any substantial public display of sympathy/protest for the situation of the NK's, where roughly two million have died at a brutal dictator's whim over the past ten years (as compared to the mass popular protests in the ROK over TWO school girls ACCIDENTALLY run over by a USFK armored vehicle during a training ACCIDENT --training conducted for the defense of the ROK from NK...); the lack of any protest against China for their inhuman practice of returning these refugees to NK for sick torture in the gulags; ROK trying to prop the regime up for at least another ten years, and another generation of horrible suffering ,pain, death so sudden reunification won't damage the ROK economy; the forecasted historical perspective on why NK was allowed to go on, twenty years from now; and, of course: "The liberalization of North Korea will never happen until the glorious day Kim Jong Il kicks away his vile little existence at the end of a hangman’s rope."

What a great article!
