Ironically, these two bantering back and forth present an example of why the various groups involved can't get along.

Personally, I can't see it from the North or South Korean perspective because I'm an American. Conversely, they can't see it from my perspective because they aren't American. Just as everyone has thier personal take on any given situation, so too, do nations.

I do admit that the USA does tend to meddle in other nations. Sometimes it is a help and sometimes not. However, one should consider this. Haveing power to change things in a positive manner and chooseing not to use that power is just as bad as doing something harmful. America means well more often than not, it just tends to blunder into things because we tend to be bull headed.

Should America use more care in considering the perspectives and cultures of other nations? Certainly, I also don't have any illusion than when the perverbial ---- hits the fan, it's the USA everyone will be turning to for help. We end up being the bad guys if we do something, or we end up the bad guys becuase we didn't. It's just how the world works.


As to wether North and South could get together..that's up to them.
