The Koreans are separated by a DMZ, which forced family members apart. When the leader of North Korea passes on, the Government Department that deals with the Reunification of the Koreas will step in.
Bush in his superior knowledge realises that the world is playing a waiting game. If the North comes under the South, then Unified Korea will be a little like North America, but with kimchi and soju, etc.

Public opinion is that all of North Korea is waiting for the leader to pass on, for freedom. That his reign will not be perpetuated. They are hungry, cold, have to do what the leader assigns for life, including employment, and where they live, including city.
Many South Koreans go up to the border to gaze across the border, waiting, hoping and praying. There are statues of Mary, Buddha, etc. There is even a re-unification video that only the South Korean nationals are allowed to watch. Little girls cry........

Each nation is a different case with different ideaologies and beliefs.

I have personally noticed how affectionate Koreans are. Little boys hug and are very close to each other, so how can you judge their nature if you have not seen it first hand? I could not believe how close relationships are between Korean nationals, even bus drivers. Something that the west could learn from I'd say.

There are cross border sports trips, reunification of family visits, hiking groups are taken to the North from the South.

So this is why I am not SCARED of Bush and his methods.

You can't assume that because a happened today, then b will happen next time. Individuals are individuals.

Trying really hard to be objective,
