The best thing that coulkd happen to the Koreans is to be led into the modern world by the benevolent government of japan.

Agreed. Like the British Empire, the Japanese Empire was often better than succeeding regimes.

If the U.S had not intervened Korea woould still be under Japanese rule. The best thing that coulkd happen to the Koreans is to be led into the modern world by the benevolent government of japan. Far better that korea be ruloed by the emperor of Japan than the current regime of louts which control it. Anti-american demonstranstions after America gave them 2.5 billion in aid to develop their industry. No appreciation for American help, nothing but hatred. Let Japan rule Korea, teach them some manners!! Korean elites have always sold their countries interest to the hjighest bidder then blamed America.

For some unknown reason, this structure echoes the phrase “Keynesian demand management”Ã�? in my head.

No money from the South Koreans will go to the hotel. Probably no money at all will be sent. Great comment by the Cowboy archeitect. the south fears reunification. It would mean an economic collapse. The South is attempting to get Kim Jong Il to immplement reform. they have been bribing him for a decade with loans and assistance. What they have gotten is a nuclear weopons program. This nightmare will not end until the world shoulders the responsibility it has avoided and removes the maniac. By whatever means!! Allowing the North Korean people to live in slavery, is a crime, because we could remove Kim. Why is the United States and five other nations negotiating with a group of murderers and slavers. Cowardice!

Lovely. To continue the metaphor, how much of that $1b will even be spent on the building, rather than “redirected”? And what are the odds that NK will ever have a serious shot at co-hosting the Olympics? The West wouldn’t stand for it.

Although the site committee visits might be a good instrument to conduct a little espionage and recruiting……..

For some unknown reason, this structure echoes the phrase “trickle down economics” in my head.
