I agree that the stability of NK will remain paramount, but I find it difficult for anyone to have described the ending of the sunshine policy and the sending of no-strings attached billions of dollars of "aid" as merely a cosmetic change. Sorry, I don't mean to imply that you're lying or anything, but the NY-based Korea Society's podcasts especially have recently gotten me interested in NK and Unification issues, and I'm trying to get my bearings on commentators and opinions etc. If you could pass the names of some people with those opinons on, I'd really appreciate it! Keep up the good work.
