OPTION ONE: I think basically that the separated whole of Korea does need to be whole again, as countries do seem to need to be whole again, and it can only be whole when other countries leave it alone to work out its issues. OPTION TWO: The next best alternative is for the North to be subsumed into China as a province. At least this would deal with the poverty issues of the North...and set that new Province on the China industrial road to a much better life. These people are, in fact, Manchurian anyway. The whole North of China, Korea, and even parts of Russia, are Manchurian. Maybe it is about time the Manchurians took control of their own nuclear weapons, wealth, and massive resources...and looked at Japan, seriously, and with due prejudice to right old wrongs in the North of Asia.
