But the long-term appeasement has been working very well in South Korea's perspective and the South Korean public will never think of proposing a military action against North Korea.

Just go with the flow: appeasement to North Korea forever and ever; better than a terrifying war that can kill over half of South Koreans... or North Korea waging a war and kill a huge number of their own civilians up north with AK-47s.

We know how North Korea treat their own civilians. And North Korea will treat them even worse when they are at a total war. The American and South Korean government know this and they are wise enough to not even consider a war with North Korea.

The American force's Yongsan base is already within the artillery range from North Korea. And it is an important hub of American force stationed in South Korea.

It is a bad time to start a war, eh? Especially when almost all of South Koreans are paying homage to a ex president who commited suicide... and he was a very North-Korean-American-friendly president.

Rest in Peace, President Roh... appeasing both America and North Korea in a very difficult fine line, without trying to offend Japan and China.
