Any FReeper out there read Korean? Translation please.

Comrades! Brothers and sisters! If we have no country there is no happiness! Give it all you have!

The words read
"Comrades! Brothers and Sisters! Without the fatherland there can be no happiness.
All arise for Victory! Give everything to the front!"
Compared to the propaganda N. Korea usually spews out, this is very mild commie fare.

As I live in Korea, I can give some background on the two Koreas during these last few years:

The South Korean policy towards the DPRK was declared by the president as the "Sunshine Policy" which translates as "Throw money at the commies until I get a Nobel Peace Prize and a stunning, historical breakthrough." Inching out Clinton in the 2000, President Kim Dae Jung finally received the Nobel Peace Prize after almost a decade of fishing. Think peanut farmer(actually, he has never held a steady job), only with much more power, ability to muscle business directly, and well in to the dotage of old age(over 80).

Up to 2002 North Korea only had to make a few gestures and would be literally showered in money, including about 400 million dollars worth of bribes deposited directly in to the dictator's pocket through Hyundai Marine Transportation.
During those years there was the "symbolic" June 15th summit declaration, and the "symbolic" meetings of seperated families, but if you cut out the immense amount of hype the South Korean government was churning out, nothing substantial happened, and there had been similar events during the '70s.

However North Korea has gone into hyperspeed during the year 2002. I'd say that after 8 years of liberal pampering, North Korea has been shocked by Bush's axis of evil speech and even more so by the extremely fast connection between talk and military action in Afghanistan, the US's utter disregard for international opinion, and is alarmed by Bush's feints towards human rights abuses in North Korea. To Kim Jung Il, the US is the maverick cowboy of international politics.

Also it is election year in South Korea, and Kim Dae Jung's New Millenium party has been wiped out by historical porportions in the June and August congressional elections(the rival GNP now has complete control of the legislature) and Kim Dae Jung's heir is dropping like a rock through the polls. The government has already tightened purse strings on "aid" toward the DPRK.

To placate the US and try to tip the scales of the presidential, our neighbors to the north have been busy, even apologizing for a naval skirmish that happened earlier this year(first time it has apologized, ever), cozying up to the Japanese, sponsoring more high-level meetings, laying out plans to open its economy, finally getting started on a railroad that will connect the Koreas to Russia, and sending a large contigent of athletes to the South Korea sponsored Asian Games(which returned to the DPRK two days ago).

I wouldn't mind knowing what this one says as well.
