RE: [Marxism] Cyber One Korea

["David McDonald" <dbmcdonald@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am rather astonished that Yoshie is "encouraged" by the large number of S
Koreans wanting to communicate with their countrymen and women of the north,
apparently the real reason for the popularity of the gambling site. I have
been under the impression for years that unification is the deepest desire
of the Korean people, North and South. In fact, I have been led to believe
that that desire and the desire to rid the peninsula as a whole of American
troops has been the mainstay of N Korean diplomacy and the chief goals of
the regime, as well as many, many in S Korea; further, that this two-fold
emphasis is what has held the feet of the S Korean regime to the fire with
respect to maintaining and expanding the Sunshine Policy (for eventual
reunification of the country). It is the slow turning of these worms that is
helping to convert the 30,000 US troops in S Korea into 30,000 hostages
because it is evident that the S Korean people will not tolerate their use
as a military force against their compatriots in the North, making the
troops useless as an offensive threat but nevertheless un-withdrawable by
the US for broader geopolitical reasons (at least for now).
