I actually sat through it all, I do feel sorry for the brain washed people, but it seemed to me that even Kim Jong Il was more of a puppet to the military!!

Strange country, if they wanted reunification with the south I think they'd be rejected!

I think the South Koreans, having watched Germany, are not all that eager for unification.

Agreed...I can't think of any real benefit to them other than a few thousand families (if that) being reunited.
