		<description><![CDATA[There is a new resource on Korean affairs that seems to have promise and I have been helping them out on unification issues recently. They mostly focus on a South Korean commercial/government perspective, but were open to social aspects as well. Check them out&#8230; http://www.junotane.com They have also got me agreeing to help answer questions [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An ROK National Assembly Special Committee on Budget and Accounts has estimated that unification could cost around 1 trillion dollars &#8211; yes, 1 trillion &#8211; with the cost increasing further over time. The report notes the difference in timing. If unification occurs in 2015, it could cost around $858 billion over 10 years to absorb the North. If unification occurs in 2030, it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Which should be first, ending the Korean War with a Peace Treaty or disarming North Korea&#8217;s nuclear programs? Ask anyone from the US and they will more than likely say that disarming North Korea should be first. North Korea&#8217;s nuclear programs are potentially a threat to their interests.
