Kim Jong-un misses Workers' Party event amid rumours North Korean leader has been ousted

21. Sadly I agree...

It will take a multi-generational effort of patience, compromise, and NOT following the path of wild-west style Corporate Oligarchic Capitalism that has thrown the former USSR into such painful socioeconomic disarray.
And not just on the part of the South Korean population. PEACEFUL re-unification of Korea will require a Global Effort, and the goal MUST NOT be "how much money can we make off this deal?".

It IS an accomplish-able goal, but this isn't something the population of the Peninsula can't do by themselves (as the general population of the North CERTAINLY hasn't the first damned clue what their role should be, and the economy of the South isn't equipped to handle what is basically a whole nations worth of economic refugees) and it won't happen without a very clear plan, with VERY clear goals, on a VERY VERY open-ended calender.

Undoing the kind of social brainwashing endemic to NKorea isn't something you do on the fly, and it ISN'T something that ONE President can get done. Also, I think this will serve as quite a good test-case for whether or not Americas, as a self-governing body-politic, actually have the capacity to kick HARD the "yapping terriers of ignorance" (as Dawkins calls them) as necessary to the greater worldwide Good.

Because seriously, I don't know if we do at this moment in History.
