"Perhaps but I was in South Korea on a few occasions about 10 years ago and, to virtually all of the younger people there, the North can do no wrong. Reunification is "inevitable" and it's only the United States keeping the two Koreas apart. Do you have proof that they now believe otherwise?"
Other than living their for 3 years and having been there as recently as a few weeks ago I can tell you that your comment that South Korea would apologize for North Korea knocking an airliner down is off base.
They do want reunificication but they are quite well aware of the wrongs that occur in the North. There is no way they'll reunite and accept the communism of the north.
I didn't say they would "apologize." I said they'd be "doing some major league tap-dancing to justify it." In other words, it would somehow end up being the United States' fault. Many South Koreans can not be trusted.
