Futhermore, with Kim Dae Jung as president, South Korea began the Sunshine Policy of raprochement with North Korea.[/quote]
Boy, am I glad you mentioned the so-called “Sunshine Policy” … because it’s been well documented that Kim Dae-jung initiated it with a $500 million payoff to North Korea from a secret political slush fund.
That Nobel Peace Prize is a joke. Obama freely admitted he hadn’t done anything to deserve his, but at least he didn’t get it through crass bribery.
Incidentally, the payoffs were disguised as part of the jointly owned Mount Kumgang resort project in North Korea. Once the scandal was uncovered in 2003, the flow of illicit cash stopped and North Korea’s attitude hardened almost overnight. The resort closed after a South Korean visitor was shot by guards while taking a walk on the beach, and was later expropriated by NK.
