Dear Mr. Harden and Ms. Kim,
Hasn't anyone considered the great “solution” to the "problem" with North Korea, reunification of Korea. Like the split of Germany during the Cold War between USSR and USA and their respective allies, the split of North and South Korea has had little advantage in terms of progress of North Korea. Commercially, it seems to me, the South Koreans have been far more successful in world trade and politics than the North Koreans. I would never have believed how resistant the East German folks were to reunification, but then again, I'm sure I was not privy to all the information. And, I’m sure that my view of which is more successful is slanted by the political milieu in which I live. What I did know was that there were many Germans in the neutral country of Switzerland in 1968 that were politicking for reunification. Is there a movement for reunification for the Koreans? It would not be simple or uncomplicated. It would be hard work, internally and internationally. It would, it seems to me, to be the ultimate solution to the problems of Korea, both North and South. Certainly it would be better than annihilation. The "areas" of interest for the Russians and the Americans would best be dissolved, I believe, so that unreasonable leaders in one area are handled internally rather than by the people of the world at large. It makes sense to me. I'm not sure why it doesn't make sense to everyone else, on both sides. I’m willing to consider that I don’t know the feelings of the Koreans themselves..
Thank you in advance for this article and for allowing me to post my comments directly under yours. Canada and the USA split at the time of the American Revolution. The conflict with the English and their colonies was over taxes and land ownership, I believe. The continued problems between the USA and Canada still continue under the recent NAFTA provisions. Border crossings and trans-border trade are presently getting tougher, rather than better, but overall, the relationships between Canada and the USA have allowed both to flourish fairly well. Certainly the same can be said for the artificially divided East and West Germany and North and South Vietnam. Korea needs to be a united, successful country, as all countries do, solving its own problems with it's own cultures and its own language. The North and South Koreans would re-unite their families and work together for commercial success, better golfers, inner and outer peace and prevention of annihilation, I believe. This would allow the East and West to be more co-operative and help them out rather than remain antagonistic.
Sincerely,
