South Korea chief vows to deal with North

I lived in Korea and taught university there for nearly 8 years, and learned to love the country.

Most of the people dream of reunification, but in my experience do not want it too fast or at any cost. It will have to be a slow process starting with changes on the part of the North.

It has been a long time coming, but there are a few postive signs. Collapse of the North might be worst of all results. It would be an economic disaster.

There is also some fear that the Chinese are ready to claim parts of North.

President Lee will have a lot of work to do.
