The Sunshine Policy Is Dead, Part 2

South Korea has pretty much trashed its relations with the United States and Japan, and  its netizens are waging two boundary disputes  with the Chinese.  It’s a good thing reunification is just around the corner:

South Koreans are more and more disenchanted with  North Korea, with a growing number losing enthusiasm for unification and believing their Stalinist neighbor could start a war, a survey released on Friday said.

The poll by the daily JoongAng Ilbo was taken nearly two months after the reclusive North defied international warnings by test-firing missiles and amid widespread speculation it was planning to test an atomic bomb.

Some 57 percent of respondents said they thought it was possible North Korea would provoke a war, up 15 percentage points from a similar poll last year.

Just 12 percent thought unification with the North — from which the South has been separated for some 60 years — was an absolute necessity. The overall percentage of South Koreans who showed support for unification fell seven percentage points.

North Korea is now the second-most hated country in South Korea, after Japan.  Does that make us number three?  Why, I can hear them popping champagne corks at the Korea Society as we speak.  Roh also fared very poorly.
