1. Enough Patience                     

    How long are we going to be dragged around like this? The day after the North unilaterally postponed the next round of family reunions, President Kim Dae-jung told the country that ¡°intra-Korean relations are difficult, but we work with patience.¡± The president¡¯s intentions are clear when he talks about ¡®patience¡¯ in the face of the North¡¯s unilateral postponement. He made it readily apparent that under no condition and no matter how much we lose face will he cut of contact. There is no other way to explain it. He wants to be patient no matter what the North wants of us while we get dragged around.
   The ruling camp cares nothing for the pride and anger of the people as they watch the North¡¯s arrogant behavior. You get the feeling the ruling camp¡¯s own North Korea policy has been bumped out of orbit when someone in the ruling party says the government is going to go ahead with the giving the North all that rice because ¡°family reunions and rice aid are separate matters,¡± or when Cheong Wa Dae declares that the North¡¯s decision to delay the reunion event is a temporary situation resulting from internal issues in the North, and that the North¡¯s position on intra-Korean dialogue remains unchanged.
   Patience has its limits. The North never was in the mood for reuniting separated families, so it postpones reunion events whenever it feels like it. But its intentions are clear when says it wants to stick to the schedule of government-level talks, since it has much to gain from such dialogue. The South is obsessed with having whatever contact possible, and it is frustrating indeed.
   No one will of course ever be opposed to intra-Korean dialogue, and it is always good to work to make sure the dialogue continues both for reconciliation and stability on the Korean peninsula. But there is nothing to be sought from being dragged around like this; from dialogue that hurts the country¡¯s pride the more it progresses. The current government has done whatever the North has wanted. It replaced the head of the South¡¯s National Red Cross, and let the North say whatever it has wanted. It has outdone itself even, going out of its way to make excuses as if defending the North¡¯s position, giving the people the impression it is upset about not being able to give the North whatever it wants.
   Well aware of the South¡¯s weakness towards it, the North has come to the point where it feels it can demand fertilizer and food aid as a precondition for simply appearing at the talks. Its style is to unilaterally inform us that since it will not call off the government-level talks, then the Sixth Ministerail-Level Talks, the second meeting of the Intra-Korean Economic Cooperation Committee, and meetings about tourism at Mount Kumgang should be held ¡®in the safety of Mount Kumgang.¡¯ Dialogue like this has got to stop, and it has nothing to do with ¡®patience.¡¯ The government should stop blustering about how ¡®the whole world supports sunshine policy¡¯ and think more about the people¡¯s pride and the practical interest. It is our view that the South has been patient enough.

2. Diplomacy With Japan                                 top-up.gif   

   Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi¡¯s visit to Korea ended having done little more than proved that, as expected, there exists a vast difference in Japan¡¯s words and deeds. It appears our differing approaches to history will remain difficult to reconcile in the future as well.
    ¡®Regrettable¡¯ as this may be, it is the reality. To begin with, Korean diplomacy needs to get rid of this clumsy diplomacy based on vague hopes, as it did in deciding to welcome Koizumi¡¯s visit, and start over in recognition of this grim reality. After touring Independence Park in Seoul¡¯s Seodaemun area, Prime Minister Koizumi spoke lines about ¡°mental agony¡¦ genuine reflection¡¦ an apologetic mind¡¦¡± but there was no mention of Japan¡¯s history of distorting history in its textbooks or official respects at Yasukuni Shrine. This again confirms that his intention to most opportunistically have two policy lines work together, one containing ¡®reflections¡¯ and ¡®apologies,¡¯ and the other one of ¡®distortions¡¯ and ¡®official homage.¡¯ It is a virtual declaration that Japan does not care about what Korea thinks in the least, no matter how Korea may voice its objections. This being the case, forming a joint research body composed of history experts from both countries and ideas about having a national cemetery where anyone and everyone may pay official homage is a superfluous nonsense. Prime Minster Koizumi¡¯s purpose for visiting Korea was supposed to be to restore relations that have deteriorated when history reared its ugly head again, so saury fishing and visa exemptions have to remain peripheral and marginal issues for the time being.
    With things as they now are, the government should stop being so interested in spinning more meaning on the visit than it deserves, and instead concentrate its energy on revamping Korean diplomacy, particularly when it comes to Japan. When it comes to issues of diplomacy, you can only know ¡®how¡¯ when you know the ¡®why.¡¯ The first part of the problem is that Korean diplomacy until now has utilized this ¡®particular past¡¯ between Korea and Japan as its only diplomatic tool, and it has not developed any new variety of leverage. There are limits to using the past to supply power in moving the present, and there needs to be a clear realization that the days when this was possible are on their way out.
    Secondly Korean diplomacy needs to realize that in this day and age, most diplomatic issues are becoming not issues discussed between two parties but are now multi-party issues. It is only a matter of course that the US and other surrounding nations involve themselves and intervene in issues between Korea and Japan. A third party turning a given situation to its advantage is what diplomatic strength is all about. It should be self-evident that with the Japanese Self Defense Forces riding on America¡¯s back beyond its borders, the kinks in US-Korean relations are not going to be of any help in doing anything about it.
    Finally and most importantly, diplomacy is a reflection of a nation¡¯s strength and an extension of domestic affairs. When the state of home administration is torn along ideological, factional, and regional lines and incoherent as a result, no diplomat is going to be able to exercise the fullest of his abilities. This is why we ask for some self-reflection from the government when it comes to diplomacy between Korea and Japan.
