I was reading up on the 1989- 1999 developments in Korea, and then saw a few news bits this weekend discussing Korea.
I had a weird thought.
What if we just left? Some in South Korea have been advocating that for quite sometime, for their own reasons.
What would happen? My suspicion is that if we left, the folks up North would roll the tanks, fire all guns, and the peninsula would be re unified by the sword, by the artillery shell. The Kim family would finally get to be king of Korea, and Korea would not be worth ruling by the time the shooting stopped.
However, I may be wrong.
Any Koreans out there, lurking? I'd appreciate your thoughts on "Korea for Koreans."
Is unification even possible? Korea is not Germany, the Germany reunification cookie cutter is probably not the answer.
