In time, all of Korea will be united in liberty.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
North Korea is like China was 30-plus years ago. Through our contact, we are certain they will become more open and more liberated.
There is a different future that is available to North Korea, if they choose differently.
To Koreans on the other side, we care about your freedom.
There's the assumption being made by the national security advisers to the Obama administration that the North Korean leadership is not suicidal, that they know they will be obliterated if they attacked the United States. But I would point that everything in South Korea and Japan is well within range of what they might want to do.
So South Korean ability is very much limited to handle North Korean, you know, difficulties. So we don't want to see an immediate collapse of the North Korea regime.
The endgame is peaceful reunification of the Korean peninsula.
All of North Korea is a jail.
I don't think the current regime of South Korea will deal actively with the issue of North Korean defectors.
Once a major military confrontation occurs, North Korea will definitely be annihilated.
Including myself, the majority of the Korean people believe in this staunch alliance between Korea and the United States and all of us hope that our traditional alliance will be further strengthened in the future.
